In a statement, JEA said that the 6-year program is implemented in cooperation with Canada's Trade Commissioner Service (TCS), under an agreement signed in 2019, with the aim of increasing women's participation in trade and raising the share of exports generated by small and medium-sized (SMEs) companies managed and owned by women. JEA Chairman Ahmad Khudari said that the program comes within the association’s vision to empower businesswomen by stimulating their export experience, and improving their knowledge of how to access global markets. "In addition, a group of women-owned SMEs, including companies from the food industries and Dead Sea products, were trained on how to be export-ready, particularly to the Canadian market which is full of promising opportunities for Jordanian products; in light of the Canada-Jordan Free Trade Agreement that entered into force in 2012," he added. The Kingdom's exports to Canada rose during 2021, to JD50 million, compared to JD44 million in 2020.
