AMMAN — A number of Jordan Valley farmers on Tuesday organised a sit-in near Arda vegetable market, protesting against “the deteriorating conditions the agricultural sector is going through”, according to Adnan Khaddam, head of the Jordan Valley Farmers Union.

Sector losses reached around JD3 billion and negatively affected some 3 million citizens who directly depend on agriculture, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, quoted Khaddam as saying.
