In a statement reported by the Jordan News Agency, Petra, JEA said the 6-year Women
Exporters Program is implemented in cooperation with Canada's Trade
Commissioner Service (TCS) under an agreement signed in 2019.
The agreement aims to increase women's participation in
trade and raise the share of exports generated by small and medium-sized (SMEs)
companies, managed and owned by women, JEA said.
JEA Chairman Ahmad Al-Khudari said the program is in line with the
association’s vision to empower businesswomen by stimulating their export
experience and improving their knowledge in accessing global markets.
Additionally, he added, women-owned SMEs, including companies from the food
industries and Dead Sea products, “were trained how to be export-ready,
particularly to the Canadian market which is full of promising opportunities
for Jordanian products”.
He said exports were facilitated by the Canada-Jordan Free
Trade Agreement, which came into force in 2012.
Jordan’s exports to Canada increased in 2021 to JD50 million,
compared with JD44 million in 2020.
