Jordan's Agricultural Economy in Brief

Content Provider	AgEcon Search
Author	Tegeler, Henrietta Holm
Abstract	Report Summary: Agriculture engages about four-fifths of Jordan's people, but contributes only about one-third of the national income. With 80 percent of the land unproductive desert, natural resources for agriculture are very limited. Less than one-fifth of the country receives enough rainfall to support any form of agricultural activity (including grazing); only about one-tenth of the land is cultivable at present. In addition, recurrent droughts periodically decimate crop production and livestock numbers. Thus, agricultural output is considerably below requirements for domestic consumption, even in years of better than average production. Through its Development Board, the Government of Jordan outlined a long-range plan for economic development during 1963-70 agricultural reforms to take high priority. Achievement of Jordan's goals, however, depends largely on help from abroad. Several foreign countries, including the United States, have provided Jordan with materials, money, and technical assistance.
