Jordan: Grain and Feed Annual

Jordan remains highly dependent on grain imports due to limited arable land and chronic water scarcity. FAS/Amman forecasts that wheat and barley production will remain at historically low levels in marketing year (MY) 2026/27. Meanwhile, the Government of Jordan (GoJ) continues to stabilize staple consumption by maintaining fixed bread prices and managing strategic reserves. Barley imports are projected to remain at 900,000 metric tons (MT) to meet ongoing livestock feed requirements and to ensure adequate reserves in case of poor grazing seasons. Corn imports, managed exclusively by the private sector, are projected to remain steady at 750,000 MT, reflecting sustained feed demand from poultry production. Rice imports are forecast at 265,000 MT as Jordan is expected to continue sourcing from a diversified supplier base to ensure market stability for this consumer staple.
