He added at an open day organised by the Jordan Agricultural Engineers Association that the volume of agricultural exports and their contribution to the gross domestic product is around JD1 billion, which shows how important this sector is.
Tarawneh said the poultry sector in the Kingdom has witnessed remarkable growth, with production reaching self-sufficiency.
