Arab World's Only Potash Producer
Jordan Leads Regional Potash Production
Growing global interest in Jordan’s abundant mineral resources positions the Kingdom as a leading destination for mining investment and development.
Valued at over USD 3.1 billion, Jordan’s mining industry has two main pillars:
â—Ź Extractive industries: phosphate, potash, silica, quarries, and mineral mining.
â—Ź Transformational industries: chemical acids, fertilizers, cement, and bromine production.
The sector significantly contributes to the national economy, accounting for 23.3% of total exports.
Exporting to 55 markets worldwide. Key exports include phosphate, potash salts, stones, limestone, and quartz sand. Jordan’s mining sector is recognized regionally and internationally for its quality, particularly in the mining and manufacturing of phosphates, potash, bromine, chemical acids, and fertilizers.
In 2022, Jordan’s high-quality minerals were in high global demand. Top export destinations were India (34.7%), Indonesia (10.9%), China (8.73%), and Malaysia (5.32%), primarily for phosphate, potash salts, limestone, and quartz sand. The growing demand continues to drive economic growth, industrial innovation, and regional leadership in mineral production for Jordan’s mining sector.
