AMMAN — Jordan’s agricultural exports to Lebanon dropped from 22,000 tonnes in 2012 to 12,000 tonnes in 2013, according to officials from both countries.

The Kingdom’s agricultural imports from Lebanon nearly doubled in 2013, rising to 91,000 tonnes, compared with 45,000 tonnes the year before, according to figures reviewed by Agriculture Ministry Secretary General Radi Tarawneh and Lebanese Agriculture Minister Louis Lahoud on Wednesday.

The two officials signed minutes of meetings of the Jordanian-Lebanese joint committee, which call for removing all hindrances to agricultural cooperation.
