General Director of the

In a recent interview, he suggested that a reevaluation of the
regulations governing the agricultural sector is imperative to align with both
climate fluctuations and political changes, Khaberni reported. Auran
underscored that the union's objectives extend beyond financial compensation
within the Agricultural Risk Fund; they also aim to promote scientific research
for the development of plant varieties adaptable to these changes, whether
temperatures are on the rise or decline.
Additionally, he called for a reduction in the costs of water and energy
for the agricultural sector and advocated for
direct support to farmers,
mirroring the support provided to public transportation.
Concerning the soaring prices of production inputs, he noted that some
have exploited political circumstances, such as the
Russia-Ukraine conflict, to
justify price hikes. He urged the establishment of price boundaries for
production inputs in Jordan.
Finally, he questioned the existing restrictions on Egyptian labor in
Jordan while highlighting their absence in Syria.
