Amman, June 22 (Petra) — Chairman of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce
Khalil Al-Haj Tawfiq officially opened the Jordanian pavilion at the
21st edition of the Arab International Food Industries and Packaging
Exhibition “Food Expo 2026,” held at the Damascus Exhibition City in
Syria.

The five-day event brings together around 300 companies from Syria,
the Arab region, and abroad, serving as a platform to showcase food
products, attract investment, and build new trade partnerships.

The exhibition features a wide variety of food-related sectors,
including edible oils, grains, pasta, dairy products, cheese,
confectionery, baby food, meat products, beverages, poultry, and
fish, in addition to packaging materials, production inputs, and food
processing equipment.

Jordan is represented by 20 companies operating in the food
production and packaging industries, with the goal of expanding the
reach of Jordanian products in Syrian and regional markets and
connecting with potential importers and distributors.

In remarks issued by the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, Al-Haj Tawfiq
described the participation, organized by International Promoters
company for marketing & organizing exhibitions (IPCO), as an
important step toward strengthening economic relations between
Jordan, Syria, and other participating countries.

He highlighted that Syria represents a natural market for Jordanian
goods, and that the return of specialized trade exhibitions in
Damascus provides new opportunities for private-sector cooperation
and the rebuilding of commercial and investment ties.

He added that Jordan’s food sector is known for its quality and
competitiveness across Arab markets, and that participation in such
events helps companies explore export opportunities and expand
regional cooperation.

Al-Haj Tawfiq also stressed the importance of continued coordination
with Syria in key sectors such as food industries, packaging,
transport, and logistics.

General Manager of IPCO Raed Abu Saada noted that Jordan’s
participation aims to support the presence of Jordanian industries in
regional exhibitions and to help companies promote their products and
establish new business partnerships.
