The anticipated investment volume is $25 million, with an
internal rate of return set at 11.5 percent. The expected payback period is
estimated at 9 years, and it is anticipated that 75-150 jobs will be created,
Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
In terms of the site's attributes, the data reveals the
presence of 5 regional centers located in Karak, Irbid, Madaba, or Amman
(depending on the selected location), along with Balqa and Mafraq. Each
regional center will serve the surrounding agricultural area within a one-hour
drive, allowing the service provider to cover at least 50 percent of the
Jordanian agricultural export market. This ensures the maintenance of
high product quality.
The proposed logistics company will directly export fresh
products to farmers, ensuring high-quality standards from the farm's inception.
The company will manage the cold chain infrastructure, with costs shared with
farmers. Agriculture plays a pivotal role in Jordan's economy, contributing 20
to 25 percent to GDP and employing 14 percent of the workforce.
The primary
agriculture sector contributes 5.6 percent to GDP, with untapped potential in
agricultural exports. Investors are tasked with financing construction, setup
costs, and operational expenses. Collaboration with local stakeholders,
understanding farmer requirements, and contracting with knowledgeable local
companies are crucial for success. Phased regional center development aims to
reduce initial capital burdens. The Ministry launched six new investment opportunities
in tourism and food, totaling an expected $58.43 million, bringing the
cumulative investment on the platform to over $1.4 billion.
