Jordanië

The Central Wholesale Market for Fruits and Vegetables in Amman is a vital hub for Jordan’s agricultural trade, handling over 3,000 tons of fresh produce daily. Strategically located in Al-Jwaideh, just 20 km east of the capital, this expansive 17-hectare market serves as a linchpin for both local and imported agricultural products, directly shaping food prices and supply across the country. Managed by the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM), and operating under Jordan’s Wholesale Markets Law, the market is now poised for a significant transformation.

Dutch agricultural trade with Jordan has been relatively stable over the past years at a level of $ 120 mln export value, with (frozen) potatoes, cacao and dairy as main products, and $ 24 mln import value. A number of companies have activities in Jordan, though investment has been limited these past years. Through a survey the Agricultural team at the Dutch embassy in Amman asked companies about their outlook of business potential for Dutch companies in Jordan. The feedback from the respondents can be used as input for the agri-economic-diplomacy effort of the embassy.

In Egypte en Jordanië is roodvlees nog altijd de koning van de eiwitten. Peulen zijn armeluisvoedsel. En insecten zijn haram en gebruik ligt dus moeilijk. Welke ruimte biedt de lokale cultuur dan voor een eiwittransitie? - In Agrospecial Eiwittransitie wereldwijd.
