Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh onions and shallots in Jordan experienced a notable dip in 2019 to 60.5 thousand tons before entering a phase of strong and consistent expansion. From 2020 onwards, production and market size grew steadily, with the market reaching 141.6 thousand tons by 2023, representing a significant increase over the period.

In 2024, market dynamics were shaped by specific regulatory and promotional events. A government-imposed ban on onion exports from October 2023 to March 2024 was lifted in April, reinstating unrestricted export activity. Concurrently, the 'Made in Jordan' campaign worked to bolster consumer confidence in domestic agricultural products, supporting local demand for onions.
