Dr. Fadel ELZUBI to Al-Ghad Newspaper: Importing olive fruits helps meet local market needs and ensures the continuity of exports

The international food security expert, Dr. Fadel ELZUBI, stated that the sharp decline in this year’s olive season raises serious concerns about Jordan’s ability to meet local market needs and ensure the continuity of exports. He explained that estimates indicate annual domestic consumption of olive oil ranges between 30,000 and 32,000 tons, meaning that the expected production this season may cover only a small portion of internal demand, placing Jordan before significant challenges in maintaining its export position.
