Abu Dhabi Fund for Development completes overhaul of two grain silos in Jordan – The National

The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development has completed a $70 million refurbishment and expansion of two grain silos in Jordan, as the kingdom seeks to raise storage capacity in response to worldwide food supply problems.

The two silos, one in the area of Jwaideh near Amman and another near the southern port city of Aqaba, underwent "extensive renovation" and now have the capacity to store 120,000 tonnes and 100,000 tonnes of wheat and barley respectively, the Abu Dhabi fund said.

Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, director general of Abu Dhabi Fund for Development , said the project reflects the strong "strategic relations" between the UAE and Jordan, and will help the kingdom meets its food needs.
