The xin.bz view
- Jordan holds close to ten months of wheat coverage plus substantial barley inventories — strategic stock that lets it choose when to tender rather than buy at the market’s worst price.
- Arab Potash Company’s Dead Sea brine operation (~2.5M t/year capacity, 1.8M t K2O mined in 2025) makes Jordan a top-eight potash producer and a geographic diversifier for global fertilizer supply — exposed to Red Sea and regional shipping security.
