AMMAN – Jordan has decided to dispense with
the use of the
port of Haifa for
exporting Jordanian goods to the United States
and other countries, with the opening of an export line to transport goods from
the port of Aqaba at lower shipping fees, lower transportation costs, and
within the same timeframe.

During his attendance at a session of the
Board of Directors of the
Jordan Chamber of Industry (JCI) hosted by the
Chamber of Industry in Irbid, Minister of Industry, Trade, and Supply Yousuf Al-Shamali
affirmed that the industrial sector has demonstrated its presence by focusing
on maximizing the quality of national products and introducing new productive
categories, making them more competitive domestically and internationally. He
pointed out that between 30 to 50 percent of Palestinian imports are from Jordan.
He explained that prices did not witness any
increases due to the
Israeli aggression on Gaza or the conflicts existing
around the world; on the contrary, prices have decreased for about 75 items
available on
Jordanian tables, except for a relative increase in the price of
cucumbers due to the delay in the winter crop.
He stated that 40 million dinars have been
allocated in the 2024 budget to support the program for the development of
national industries, targeting large, medium, and small industries.
He also mentioned that industrial companies
competing for support from the program will receive non-refundable grants of
JD500,000 for large industries and between JD250,000 to JD350,000 for medium
and small industries.
