Ammon News - 18 local industrial companies, representing Jordan's various productive sectors, are scheduled to begin their participation in the Gulfood Manufacturing, which is slated to kick off in Dubai on Sunday, at the pavilion organized by the Jordanian Exporters Association (JEA).

Jordanian industrial companies participating in the three-day exhibition operate in various foodstuff sectors, according to the JEA president, Ahmed Khodari.

In a press statement on Saturday, he said Jordan's participation in the event indicates the industrial sector's persistence on its continuous presence in all international economic activities, which would help find new customers and markets that raise the value of Jordanian exports to global markets.

Khodari added that the exhibition constitutes a "strong" opportunity for Jordanian industrial companies to promote their products, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic-induced "difficult" conditions on the global exhibition industry, which was forcibly suspended due to the crisis.

The JEA, he noted, seeks to enable Jordanian companies to learn about the latest manufacturing technologies at the exhibition, in addition to introducing participants to "high" quality of Jordanian industrial products.

To better promote Jordan's industries globally, Khodari said the JEA's new board of directors is mulling plans to ensure "continuous" presence of Jordanian industrial products in various specialized fairs and export markets, especially the United States and the EU, and searches for new destinations to expand its geographical base.

The JEA, which was established in 1988, has pledged to provide the "appropriate" support for Jordanian industrialists to export their products, as well as ensuring "adequate" services to contribute to developing Jordan's industrial exports and offering the "right" environment to exchange export expertise, he noted.

Khodari added that stimulating Jordanian industrial exports is "the fastest" solution to achieving economic growth by increasing production and investment in the industrial sector and creating more job opportunities.
