Exports to Iraq increased by 32 percent to JD111.3 million in

The data showed that the exports were geared towards Iraq’s
industrial sectors, mainly food, engineering and electrical industries,
clothing, paper and cardboard, and chemical industries.
Ihab Al-Qadri, who oversees the export file, said the increase is
attributed to the recent agreements signed by the two countries, which
constituted an incentive to increase export quantities to Iraq, in addition to
facilities offered for obtaining visas and the continued exemption of 344 Jordanian
products from Iraqi customs duties.
Qadri pointed out that the establishment of a specialized
exhibition for
Jordanian industries in Baghdad at the end of 2021 contributed
to the promotion and the opening of new horizons for Jordanian products within
the Iraqi market. He said another reason was allowing trucks to enter the two
countries’ territories and load directly from the country of origin.
He explained that the
Iraqi market is one of the important
traditional markets for Jordan. He stressed that there were great opportunities
for the national industry to enter the Iraqi market and compete in it in light
of the special relations that bring the two countries together at various
levels.
