Amman, June 27 (Petra) – 23 Jordanian food companies will begin their
participation on Sunday, in the 2026 Fancy Food Show’s latest summer
edition held in the United States.

The three-day event will feature Jordanian companies participating in
the show.

Head of Jordan Exporters Association (JEA), Senator Ahmed Khudari,
said the association is organizing the Jordanian participation in the
show, as the American market is “one of the key strategic” markets
for Jordanian exports.

Khudari noted significance of US market is due to its “large consumer
base, significant” purchasing power, and the priviliges offered by
the free trade agreement between the two friendly countries.

In a statement issued Saturday, he noted Jordan possesses
“high-quality and efficient” food and industrial products to compete
globally.

This privilige, he stated, requires “continuous” efforts to maximize
benefits of the free trade agreement, increase presence of Jordanian
companies in international exhibitions and specialized trade events,
and build sustainable partnerships with American importers and
distribution chains.

He said increasing Jordanian exports to the United States is a
“cornerstone” of supporting the national economy by enhancing foreign
currency inflows, improving trade balance, stimulating investment,
raising production capacity of national factories, and creating more
job opportunities for Jordanians.

Locally, Khudari called for strengthening coordination and
cooperation among various national institutions in both the public
and private sectors, including ministries, economic bodies, export
support institutions, and the private sector.

He said this effort aims to orchestrate efforts and integrate roles
in promoting Jordanian products and opening new markets.

He noted achievements of Jordanian exports in recent years confirm
investing in external promotion and building international trade
relations produce “tangible and sustainable” economic returns.

Khudari said this situation requires continuing national efforts to
enhance Jordan’s position on the global trade map and solidify its
image as a “reliable source of high-quality” products.

On its policy, he said the association will continue working with all
national partners to enhance “competitiveness” of Jordanian exports
and optimize benefits of the trade agreements Jordan has concluded
with various countries around the world.

He said this plan aligns Economic Modernization Vision and
contributes to achieving sustainable economic growth that benefits
the nation and its citizens.
