Zarqa: Commercial exports from the city of Zarqa surged past the JD50 million mark in March, according to certificate of origin data released by the Zarqa Chamber of Commerce and its Free Zone office.
According to Jordan News Agency, Hussein Shreim, president of the Zarqa Chamber of Commerce, stated that the total value of commercial exports, including re-exports, cleared the JD50 million threshold last month. This figure was supported by 174 certificates of origin issued by the chamber and its free zone branch.
Vehicles and automotive parts accounted for the majority of Zarqa's exports during the month, Shreim noted. Other significant export categories included building materials, sanitary ware, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, foodstuffs, apparel, jewelry, and electronics, as well as home and office furniture and stationery.
He explained that these figures reflect growth in the city's commercial sector, with March exports showing a considerable increase from the JD33 million recorded in February.
Year-on-year data also revealed expansion. Exports in March of last year, 2025, were approximately JD38 million. This increase indicates an improvement in re-export operations and broader commercial momentum within the city. The upward trajectory highlights Zarqa's expanding role as an economic and commercial hub, supported by activity in the Free Zone and a diversified portfolio of sectors supplying international markets.
