A cargo plane loaded with 36 tons of vegetables took off on Sunday to Qatar as part of the Jordanian-Palestinian Agriculture Products Marketing Co. (JPACO)’s contracts to supply Arab countries with local agriculture products.
During take-off at the Queen Alia International Airport, Agriculture Minister Khaled Hneifat told Petra that the ministry established JPACO as part of the National Plan for Sustainable Agriculture (2022-2025) to bridge the sector with foreign and Arab countries.
Hneifat noted that the company operates under agriculture contractual strategies with farmers and international markets, which goes hand to hand with the agrometeorology development package and regulates the agriculture of shortage and export crops.
Ala Eddin Abu Alkhair, Director-General of JPACO, said the shipment marks the launch of the company’s trademark, thanks to cooperation with Qatari Hassad Food Company, pointing to other contracts to export to several European countries including Holland, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Austria, Czechia, Turkey, Malaysia, and others.
