Hneifat opened the festival, considered the "most
prominent marketing window for olive farmers and rural families" in Amman,
on behalf of His Majesty King Abdullah, with the participation of 800
individuals.
In a statement reported by Al-Mamlaka TV, Hneifat stated
that organizing this festival translates the Royal Directives on the necessity
of caring for the agro-industrial sector.
He emphasized the importance of supporting olive farmers and
rural families to achieve sustainable agricultural development goals.
The festival features modern technologies, such as crowd
management, barcoding for each olive oil container entering the festival area,
and online sales technology. Visitors were reassured that no olive oil
container would be allowed into the festival without being tested by the
National Center's olive oil laboratory. Additionally, a campaign was launched
to promote optimal water management in various consumption sectors, encouraging
the adoption of modern water-saving techniques.
