Jordanian companies to participate in Saudi Food Manufacturing 2025
The Jordan Exporters Association (JEA) is organising the Kingdom's participation in the exhibition for the second time, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The three-day event features over 550 international brands, as pavilions represent several countries, including France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Turkey, India, Switzerland, Spain, Pakistan, Egypt, China and Italy.
JEA Chairman Ahmad Khudari said that the goal of Jordanian industries' presence in this event is to 'diversify and increase' national exports and learn about the latest developments, technologies and innovations in the food manufacturing industry.
Khudari said that the participation comes within the framework of the JEA's efforts aimed at enabling national companies to promote their products and open "new" marketing horizons in foreign markets, especially amid international presence in this specialised event.
He noted that this step represents an "important" opportunity for Jordanian companies to learn about developments in the sector, exchange expertise, explore opportunities for cooperation and partnerships and possibly conclude commercial deals that enhance their international presence.
The JEA chairman noted that the Saudi market is "one of the most important markets" for Jordanian industrial exports, given the two kingdoms' "strong" relations at various levels and their geographical proximity.
Jordanian industry has achieved "remarkable" development in recent years in terms of quality and "competitive" pricing, enabling it to reach over 150 global markets, he pointed out.
He said that the growth of industrial exports plays a "pivotal" role in driving the national economy and achieving "desired" growth rates, as well as creating more job opportunities, attracting new investments in the industrial sector, and supporting the Kingdom's foreign currency reserves.
Khudari called on Jordanian companies operating in the food industry to seize the opportunity to attend the event to promote their products, especially amid the "expected large" turnout of exhibitors, brand owners, experts, and traders from across the world.
Referring to JEA's "close" cooperation and coordination with Jordan and Amman chambers of industry and other stakeholders, he said that this partnership aims to support the export industries sector and promote Jordanian products by enhancing their presence in specialised international exhibitions and facilitating their access to "vital and strategic" markets.
