Jordan’s Cabinet approved the National Export Strategy for 2026–2029. Industry, Trade and Supply Minister Yarub Qudah told Petra on Oct. 8 that the plan is intended to widen the pool of exporting companies and diversify products and destinations. It sets a target of 5% annual export growth and aims to raise manufactured exports from JD4.7 billion to JD7.9 billion by 2029.
The strategy also seeks to expand services exports and local value added. Sector action plans will cover 2026–2029, with an interim review in 2027 and an impact assessment in 2029. Priority areas include apparel, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, engineering and food, alongside services such as information technology and consulting. The figures are strategy targets, not reported outcomes.
