Overview of Jordan’s Chemicals & Fertilizers Sector

Jordan is a global leader in fertilizer and mineral-based chemicals, powered by unmatched natural resources from the Dead Sea and South Jordan. It is the sole Arab producer of potash, home to the world’s largest bromine plant, and among the top holders of phosphate reserves globally.

The sector benefits from dependable political and economic stability, strong market access, and a proven export-focused logistics backbone. Structured joint-venture models ensure secure feedstock access for foreign investors, while downstream plug-and-play opportunities enable rapid scale-up across fertilizers, performance chemicals, and specialty derivatives.

With growing investments in green ammonia, renewable energy integration, and decarbonized production, Jordan is positioning itself as a low-carbon manufacturing hub for the next generation of fertilizers and chemical products.
