Qatari traders and importers note that they
have become accustomed to witnessing this high and unusual demand in local
markets for various types and varieties of food products, particularly those
imported from Jordan, every year during Ramadan and the days leading up to it,
Al-Ghad reported.
In statements on Saturday, they explained that
this trend is common among consumers who seek high-quality products reflecting
cultural diversity, taste, and dietary preferences, especially with regards to
Jordanian food products.
Grocery trader Omar Al-Hamidi attributed this
rise in demand for Jordanian food and consumer goods to their reputation and
high quality over the years, instilling great confidence among all consumer
segments in Qatar and most markets in the region and globally.
He noted that as Ramadan approaches, the
increasing demand for Jordanian products in Qatari markets is expected, with
intense shopping to meet the needs of the holy month, particularly for iftar
and suhoor meals.
Meanwhile, the director of an
import and export company observed that the abundant presence of Jordanian goods in Qatari
markets reflects the significant and growing level of development in trade and
economic relations between the two countries, adding that Jordanian companies
are playing a tangible role in meeting the diverse needs of the Qatari market,
especially in consumer and food goods.
Rashid Al-Ansari, working in the food trade,
anticipated the continued high demand for Jordanian food products throughout
Ramadan in Qatari markets, noting that consumers are enjoying a rich shopping
experience, acquiring high-quality products.
He affirmed that Jordanian food products are
widely popular in Qatari markets, particularly before Ramadan, and residents
express satisfaction with the diversity they bring to their options. Confident
in their high quality and distinctive taste, they consider them a valuable
addition to their Ramadan table.
A Qatari citizen also expressed that most
consumer segments in Qatar are accustomed to Jordanian consumer goods,
believing that these products, in addition to being distinguished by high
quality and moderate prices, also reflect consumers' interest in transitioning
towards healthy and sustainable options during Ramadan.
