Farmers and wholesalers in Jordan have demanded that the government stops the import of potatoes originating in Israel, the Jordanian newspaper Al-Rai reported last Thursday.
According to the report, the Jordanian farmers are claiming that the policy of the Jordanian Agriculture Ministry is forcing them to sell their produce at a loss. The reason for this, they claim, is that potatoes imported from Israel have flooded the Jordanian markets and have caused their produce to accumulate.
