Khaberni - The Ministry of Agriculture has announced the commencement of receiving olive oil import applications starting from the morning of Sunday, November 9, 2025, until the end of the workday on Thursday, November 13, 2025, as part of the ministry's commitment to securing sufficient quantities of the product in local markets with appropriate quality and price, due to the decrease in local production quantities of oil for this season.
The ministry confirmed that the import process will be carried out only from member countries of the International Olive Council, adhering to international standards and ensuring the quality of the imported product.
The ministry invited companies and institutions interested in importing to submit their applications along with the required official documents, which include:
The commercial register indicating the purposes of import, export, trade, and distribution of food products,
The importer's card issued as per regulations,
The social security record for the company or institution for the years 2024 and 2025.
The Ministry of Agriculture explained that this step is part of its efforts to provide the essential olive oil for consumers and to achieve a balance between supply and demand in the local market, maintaining price stability and protecting consumers from any unjustified price increases resulting from this year's production decline.
The ministry also affirmed its ongoing monitoring of the local olive season and the quantities produced from local presses, in addition to supporting farmers through its marketing and awareness programs, alongside measures aimed at ensuring the availability of both domestic and imported products according to the highest quality standards.
The ministry concluded its statement by affirming that a specialized team would meticulously review the submitted applications to ensure that importers comply with the specified terms and standards, emphasizing the importance of cooperation between the public and private sectors in maintaining the sustainability of the olive sector, which is a cornerstone of Jordan's food security and agricultural economy.
