Jordan is committed to modernise agriculture production and will seek to leverage the latest AgTech and smart solutions to revamp agricultural production techniques and to enable Jordan to become a regional agri-food export hub. Food security is increasingly becoming a major national issue. Jordan has committed to a 10 year strategy with the objective of advancing agricultural supply chains. Irish food and drink exports to the wider Middle East market are on target to top more than € 364 million in 2023 according to latest estimates. Food and drink exports to the market grew by 20% in 2022 as demand increased for premium Irish brands. Further opportunities exist in developing the agricultural food value supply chain and enhance agri-food value- added by upgrading supply chain infrastructure, food-manufacturing, and improving agricultural marketing of exports.
Jordan will begin implementing large-scale ventures and public-private partnerships, with projects estimated to be worth in excess of € 13 billion. A selection of the larger projects:
Green hydrogen and green ammonia production facility valued at JD4 billion
