Amman, June 10 (Petra) – The Hashemite Fund for the Development of
Jordan Badia (HFDJB) won two prestigious international awards for the
exceptional quality of its extra virgin olive oil, produced at the
Sabha Development Group in the North-Eastern Badia.

The silver awards were in recognition of the outstanding quality of
its extra virgin olive oil at both the Berlin Global Olive Oil Awards
(GOOA) and the London International Olive Oil Competitions (LIOOC).

It marks a new international achievement for the fund, placing it
among the most prominent and important international competitions
specializing in the quality of extra virgin olive oil worldwide.

The fund secured the awards for the third consecutive year, and this
year’s silver award in Berlin followed last year’s bronze.

The awards reflect the excellence of Jordanian olive oil and its
ability to compete and win at the most prestigious international
events specializing in extra virgin olive oil, commented HRH Princess
Basma bint Ali, Chairperson of the HFDJB Board of Trustees.

“This global recognition confirms the exceptional quality of
Jordanian olive oil and the success in implementing the highest
agricultural and production standards,” she added.

It also reflects the efforts made in developing the agricultural
sector and enhancing the competitiveness of national products in
international markets and forums, she said.

For his part, HFDJB Director Ayesh Qatarneh said the achievement has
been officially documented on the Elite Olive Oils Global Index, a
step that strengthens the international presence of the fund’s
products as the world’s elite olive oil products.

To maximize the product’s economic viability, the necessary
arrangements were made to participate in international competitions
focused on extra virgin olive oil to win awards that enhance the
product’s added value, he added.
