AMMAN — Head of Jordan Olive Products Exporters Association (JOPEA) Fayadh Al-Zyoud said that 20 percent of the
need for olive oil of citizens of Amman and its suburbs was covered by sales
during the 21st National Olive Festival and the Rural Products Fair, according
to Ad Dustour.

This amount was the
result of strict tests the Food and Drug Administration carried out on olive
oil, which ensured that oil that did not meet the standards was not allowed to
be sold.
Zyoud said that the National
Agricultural Research Center had a barcode on each oil bottle sold during the
festival, which showed the name of the farm and the mill, the result of the oil
examination and the authority responsible for the examination, and the method
of preservation, and that could only increase consumer trust in the product.
Zyoud said that the
festival provides the largest market for olive growers; 232 tons of oil were sold
at this year’s festival, which was held between Nov. 24 and Dec. 4.
