Al-Amin Food Industries Company in Mafraq Governorate is aiming to double the size of its investments from $50 million to $100 million in the coming years, in a step that strengthens the governorate’s position as a center for food industries and exports to regional and international markets.
The company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, Dr. Muhammad Khader Badr, said that the company has developed expansion plans aimed at increasing the volume of investment and production during the coming years, to keep pace with the increasing demand for its products in local and foreign markets.
He added that the company, which began its operations in 2021 on the international road linking Jordan and Syria, established its facilities on an area of 24 dunums, and relies on solar energy to operate its production operations, which reflects its orientation towards sustainability and reducing production costs.
Badr pointed out that the company currently produces about 45 food items, including tomato paste, legumes, pickles, potatoes, and corn chips, pointing out that the ongoing expansion plans will raise the number of products to about 150 items within one year.
He explained that the company has succeeded in opening multiple export markets for its products, reaching a number of European countries, in addition to Arab markets including Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Bahrain and Qatar, which contributed to enhancing the presence of the Jordanian product abroad.
He stated that the next stage will witness the operation of new production lines that include edible oils, frozen meats, and halawa tahini, which will expand the product base and increase the company’s competitiveness in various markets.
Regarding employment, Badr confirmed that the company currently provides job opportunities for about 110 Jordanian workers, noting that the new expansions will lead to raising the number of workers to 200 workers during the next month, which will contribute to providing more job opportunities for the people of Mafraq Governorate.
He stressed that the company continues to work to enhance its production and export investments, taking advantage of the strategic location of Al-Mafraq and its proximity to regional crossings and markets, in a way that supports the national economy and enhances the contribution of the food industries sector to economic development.
