The GIZ Employment-Oriented MSME Promotion Project (GIZ-MSME) aims to support Jordanian micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in line with national strategies by focusing on food processing, among others, as a sector with considerable growth and employment potential. More specifically, the project aims to improve enterprise competitiveness, enhance competencies within MSMEs, and improve the business and investment climate in selected sectors. The GIZ Trade for Employment Project (GIZ-T4E) focuses on building capacities and strengthening structures sustainably to enhance the conditions of Jordanian companies to increase their trade performance for employment. Under the auspices of both projects, the study aimed to provide a general overview of the food processing sector and sub-sectors in terms of structure and market trends, and major challenges and opportunities for development and growth; it was conducted in close consultation with relevant stakeholders, drawing on previous work done in the area.
