AMMAN — Shafa Food Factory in Mafraq will begin buying tomatoes from Southern Ghor farmers as of Saturday, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on Thursday.
The announcement comes after the Agriculture Ministry’s decision to support farmers with JD30 on every tonne “actually” delivered to the factory.
Agriculture Minister Khaled Hneifat said that the government support will be for a single time during the season and it aims to support farmers of southern Ghor to help them sell their produce amid an oversupply of tomatoes and the closure of some neighbouring countries’ markets.
On Wednesday, the minister visited the Ghor Safi region, and met with farmers and listened to their concerns, Petra, said.
