Amer Hadidi Minister of Industry and Trade has decided to stop the exporting of the Jordanian cucumber starting Monday August 23 due to the decision of the cabinet.

This decision was taken because of the increased prices of this material in the local market to high levels.

Minister Hadidi has reiterated on the government's intention to provide such important materials to the locals in affordable price for different categories of society in a way that serves all parts.

Industry and Trade Minister said in a press statement that such decision of stopping the exporting of the cucumber shall be reviewed according to the development of the cucumber's prices during the holy month of Ramadan.

Ammannet should also mention that the government has issued a similar decision at the beginning of the holy month for a week because of the same reason.
