Earlier Report Observations
The Jordanian virgin olive oil market experienced a significant expansion from 2018 to 2019, with market volume rising from 20 852 tons to 34 314 tons. This growth was propelled by Jordan's emergence as an exporter to global markets, particularly Europe, supported by the alignment of national quality standards with international classifications to meet strict European safety and sensory requirements.
After a contraction in 2020, the market volume stabilized between 22 726 tons and 25 421 tons through 2023. Higher temperatures and climate change impacts in 2023 reduced olive yields and oil extraction efficiency, contributing to a slight production decline and maintaining market volume near 25 000 tons.
