JCI issues report on challenges of food industry sector
AMMAN — The Jordan Chamber of Industry (JCI) issued the third report of its reform series "Regulatory Challenges Waiting to be Addressed", which was dedicated to the food, catering, agricultural and livestock industries, one of the sectors most closely related to food security and economic stability. According to a statement issued by JCI, the report comes as a continuation of the institutional approach adopted by the JCI to diagnose the most "prominent" regulatory challenges facing the various industrial sub-sectors, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. Also, the report offers practical solutions in line with the priorities of the Economic Modernisation Vision (EMV), specifically in the item "Unlocking Potential". The report noted that the sector, despite its "strategic" importance, is facing challenges at a time when there is a growing need to expand the production base and enhance reliance on domestic inputs. The JCI stressed that addressing these challenges is a national priority and is in line with the priorities of the EMV and the food security strategy, noting that the solutions proposed in the report do not require new budgets or direct financial support, but rather decisions that enhance local production.

Prime minister urges ministers to prioritise field visits, deliver tangible results, accelerate reforms
AMMAN — Prime Minister Jafar Hassan on Wednesday stressed that field work and on-the-ground engagement lie at the heart of public service and the key to effective governance, urging ministers to be present in governorates and deliver tangible results 'Fieldwork is a cornerstone of government action. It allows us to assess challenges firsthand and formulate strategies accordingly,' Hassan told ministers during the first Cabinet session following the reshuffle. Hassan urged ministers, particularly those in service roles, to dedicate time to visiting governorates and remote areas to tackle local challenges, according to a government statement. The prime minister underlined that public service demands full dedication, stating that the time of government officials "does not belong to them, but is a right of Jordan and the Jordanian people." 'The government's direction is clear, as are the requirements and programs for every sector. We know exactly what we want,' Hassan said, urging ministers to work at full capacity and with seriousness to meet national goals without delay, and achieve tangible results on the ground. 'Delays in implementing programmes and projects can carry a high cost and cause us to miss valuable opportunities.' Hassan urged ministers to take initiative within their portfolios and not wait for his instructions. 'You must be proactive and visionary. It is your duty to propose new projects and develop your sectors.' He also emphasised that building institutional capacity is a shared responsibility, not one limited to the minister of public Sector development. 'It is a joint effort, and the government as a whole is responsible for delivering the modernisation Jordan needs.' Highlighting the importance of collaboration and teamwork, Hassan noted that many ministries have overlapping responsibilities. 'Success depends on our ability to function as a team. Achievements must be collective.' Addressing new Cabinet members, the prime minister said that the focus is not on changing direction but on accelerating implementation and strengthening cooperation. 'We begin where your colleagues left off.' Hassan urged ministers to fulfil promises made during field visits to governorates. 'Each of you is accountable for implementing the projects and programmes outlined in the development plans for every governorate.'

Jordan Condemns New Attack on Gaza Aid Convoy, Demands Israeli Intervention - Jordan News
Minister of Government Communication Mohammad Momani on Wednesday renewed Jordan's strong condemnation of repeated attacks on humanitarian aid convoys, the latest of which occurred earlier in the day, when several trucks were assaulted and forced to stop for extended periods. اضافة اعلان The convoy, consisting of 30 trucks that had crossed the Jordanian border en route to the Gaza Strip, was targeted by settlers who blocked the road and pelted the vehicles with stones. Four trucks sustained damage, including shattered windshields and other material losses. In a statement to the press, Momani criticized what he described as a lax approach in dealing with settlers who obstruct aid convoys and endanger the lives of drivers. He noted that this was the second such incident in a week, following a similar attack last Sunday that forced two trucks to turn back to Jordan. "This situation demands serious Israeli intervention," he said, stressing that the failure to prevent such acts constitutes a violation of international law and existing agreements. Momani, who is also the government spokesperson, pointed to the growing logistical challenges faced by the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), including a burdensome electronic application process, indefinite inspection times at border crossings, limited inspection hours, and newly imposed customs fees ranging from $300 to $400 per truck that have been in effect since July 10. While Jordan continues to conduct airdrops in coordination with several Arab and Western partners, Momani emphasized that these efforts remain insufficient and cannot replace the vital role of land convoys. He noted that under normal circumstances, the journey from Amman to Gaza could take just two hours. However, due to mounting restrictions and deliberate delays, convoys now take up to 36 hours to complete the trip.
