Report shows Jordan disbursed over US$64.8M in agricultural loans to farmers in 2025
The Agricultural Credit Corporation says the funding reached farmers, investors, and rural communities across Jordan, with strong support for women and job seekers.
JORDAN – Amman, Jordan, reported a steady growth in agricultural financing in 2025 as the Agricultural Credit Corporation supported thousands of farmers and investors across the country.
Director General Mohammad Doujan said the corporation financed more than 12,880 farmers and investors during the year, with total loans worth JD46 million (US$64.86 million). He said the amount rose by JD7 million (US$9.87 million) compared with 2024.
“The corporation financed more than 12,880 farmers and investors in the agricultural sector during 2025,” Doujan said.
He noted that the beneficiaries included 9,350 men and 3,650 women. He added that JD9 million (US$12.69 million) went to Islamic financing, while JD11 million (US$15.51 million) supported subsidised loans for agricultural projects and programmes.
Focus on farming and rural areas
Doujan said the loans covered plant and animal production, mechanisation, processing equipment, and production inputs.
“These loans covered all agricultural purposes and projects in both the plant and animal sectors, as well as mechanisation and agricultural processing equipment,” he said.
He added that the corporation focused on modern technology, improved techniques, and processing to strengthen food supply in Jordan.
“The focus targeted rural and desert regions, poverty pockets and family projects for women and job seekers,” he said.
The loans also supported projects with quick income potential, including food processing, livestock, land reclamation, irrigation systems, deficit crops, and renewable energy.
Regional distribution of funds
According to the corporation, the northern governorates received JD25 million (US$35.25 million), the central offices JD32 million (US$45.12 million), and the southern branches JD16 million (US$22.56 million).
Doujan said the corporation allocated JD8 million (US$11.28 million) to projects that reduce poverty and unemployment, benefiting nearly 2,150 job seekers.
“The corporation is committed to funding projects that reduce poverty and unemployment,” he said.
He also noted that the loans targeted the Jordanian Badia regions in the north, centre, and south, as well as rural districts.
Continued support for rural financing
Doujan said the rural financing programme will continue to fund projects linked to agriculture and local markets while creating jobs in rural areas. Under the programme, JD4 million (US$5.64 million) went to 938 borrowers.
“The rural financing programme aims to fund projects closely linked to the agricultural sector and create job opportunities for rural residents,” he said.
Officials say the results show steady demand for agricultural credit and a growing role for targeted financing in rural development. The corporation expects the programmes to remain a key source of support for farmers and small projects in the coming years.
