Jordan Daily – Minister of Agriculture Khaled Hneifat met on Monday with Sami Masannat, CEO of the Government Investments Management Company (GIMC), to discuss enhancing investment in agricultural and food processing sectors.
Hneifat emphasized the Ministry’s commitment to supporting agro-industrial projects, including a new agreement with Al-Masiya International Investment Company to create a special free zone for food manufacturing. He noted ongoing efforts to promote sustainable, job-generating initiatives aimed at boosting self-sufficiency and addressing poverty and unemployment.
Masannat said GIMC, which manages government investment projects, is working to attract foreign capital and develop feasibility studies for pioneering agro-industrial ventures. With a current investment portfolio of around 15 million dinars ($21 million), GIMC is exploring new opportunities in the agriculture sector, including a sugar beet processing plant.
The meeting also covered potential GIMC involvement in the Ministry’s investment committee and future collaboration on strategic agricultural projects.
