ELZUBI to Al-Rai: Food consumption rates expected to rise by 30% during Ramadan

Food security expert Fadel ELZUBI confirmed that with the advent of the holy month of Ramadan, the phenomenon of food waste in Jordan resurfaces in a striking and concerning manner, as food consumption rates increase by 25–30% compared to other months of the year. He explained that reports from the Consumer Protection Association and food security experts indicate that nearly 35% of this increased consumption ends up as waste, turning the month of blessing and solidarity into a space for unjustified extravagance.
