Ammon News - His Majesty King Abdullah II visited Al Jafr Fish Farming Project, which is a Royal initiative that promotes development of the Southern Badia, and the creation of job opportunities for the local community.

The fish farm project raises fish for sale in the local market, with the first production starting in July. The project provides 60 job opportunities for area residents, who receive training and qualification through specialised programmes.

The project is located on a 2,000 dunum plot of land, and is operated by Takatuf for Agricultural and Industrial Investments, a partnership between the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army and Harmony Investments Company.
