Amman, July 13 (Petra) — Mahmoud Ouran, Director-general of the
Jordan Farmers Union (JFU) and Chinese Ambassador, Guo Wei, discussed
on Monday expanding agricultural cooperation, opening new export
opportunities and launching joint farming projects.

Ouran said the union is working to open new Chinese markets for
Jordanian horticultural products, particularly dates and olive oil,
highlighting China’s advanced capabilities in manufacturing
agricultural machinery and equipment, fertilizers, pesticides,
veterinary medicines and vaccines.

The visit, he said, aims to draw on China’s advanced expertise in
agricultural technology and smart farming, while opening avenues for
training and capacity-building in modern techniques, an increasingly
urgent need as climate change reshapes the agricultural sector.

Ouran and Guo also discussed establishing permanent Jordanian
pavilions at the Canton Fair and exhibitions organized by Chinese
agricultural cooperatives to promote Jordanian products.

The talks also covered joint projects in tomato juice production and
tomato drying, as well as the establishment of a factory specializing
in potato processing to capitalize on the Kingdom’s surplus
production.

Both sides affirmed their commitment to deepening agricultural
cooperation in ways that serve Jordanian and Chinese farmers and
support long-term food security.
