This paper aims to support the implementation of the strategic development plans of Jordan by analyzing the role of agriculture and farmers in the Jordanian economy, the role that productivity and structural change can play for fostering agricultural growth, and the role agro-processing may play in Jordan’s economic development. We argue that the development of the agro-processing sector often has stronger backward and forward linkages with the agricultural sector than other sectors and, thus, plays an important role for rural transformation.

The dates sector is an important business sector for Jordan because of its potential to contribute to Jordan's economic growth, to increase livelihoods for farmers and workers including women and to adhere to water efficient practices. It is important that Jordan positions this sector competitively among global direct and non-direct competitors. In this book, the reader will learn about the study to establish a market positioning strategy for Jordanian date products through conducting market, competition and trade analysis, identifying Jordan’s competitive advantage and unique selling propositions (USPs) in the date’s sector, performing demographic, geographic and behavioural segmentation of the date’s sector in Jordan, and establishing targeting, and positioning strategy for the sector.
