AMMAN — The
Jordan Exporters Association (JEA) said it is exploring
opportunities to increase Jordanian exports to the Turkish market, in light of
a trade imbalance that is heavily in favor of the Turkish side, according to a
statement by JEA, carried by the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

Recent official data showed that Jordanian exports to Turkey in the first 8
months of 2021 dropped by 10 percent to JD29 million, while Turkish imports to
the Kingdom in the same reporting period surged by 25 percent to a total of
JD303 million.
JEA board of directors met with the Turkish ambassador to Jordan, Ismail
Aramaz, in a bid to advance commercial cooperation between the two countries
and find "effective mechanisms to establish greater foothold for Jordanian
merchandise in the Turkish market to mend an imbalanced trade exchange.”
According to its head, Ahmad Khudari, the JEA is ready to dispatch trade
delegations to find out which Jordanian products have the best opportunity to
access Turkish markets, building on the fact that Jordanian-made goods are
reputable for high quality and competitive prices.
The Turkish ambassador said the embassy is ready to help Jordanian exporters
access the Turkish market and will provide the JEA with the calendar of
exhibitions his country plans to organize in the future. Aramaz said the opportunity for closer
Jordanian-Turkish economic ties exists, noting that his country's annual
imports from other world countries amount to about $250 billion.
