“ELZUBI on Asharq TV and Fertilizers.”
A “compound supply shock” has struck global energy, food, and supply chains, driving food prices up by 20–35% worldwide, alongside sharp increases in shipping and fertilizer costs. For Jordan, as a net importer of both food and energy, the repercussions are immediate and severe.
The nature of this crisis is best described as a flow disruption rather than a shortage of quantities. Its impact is felt quickly and directly through rising prices and escalating costs, especially in the short term. While food availability in Jordan remains secured through imports and strategic reserves, the real challenge lies in affordability. Household purchasing power has declined, and data shows that around 12% of families suffer from moderate to severe food insecurity.
