AMMAN — Seasonal demand in the
lead-up to the holy month of Ramadan caused a 15-percent increase in Jordanian

In an interview with Hala News, Jaghbir
noted that the Kingdom’s total industrial export value during the two-month
period stood at nearly JD1.4 billion.
He attributed this rise to increased
imports of Jordanian products by Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq,
Palestine, the UAE, and Egypt in preparation for the holy month of Ramadan.
The month of Ramadan, he explained, is one
of the seasons when demand for various industrial products “rises
dramatically”. These tend to include food and catering products, in addition
plastic, glass, paper, and cardboard products.
Food exportsThe Kingdom’s food industries are diverse
and offer high quality, Jaghbir said. The volume of sector exports totaled more
than $855 million during 2022, achieving a growth of more than 8 percent over
2021 figures.
Products from this sector are exported to
more than 111 markets around the world, the most prominent of which are the
Saudi, Iraqi, and other Arab markets.
