With the COVID-19 in Jordan under control, the government
of Jordan has managed the response proactively and to
mitigate potential immediate impacts on the availability
of food to the population. Food security among vulnerable
Jordanian households has remained largely stable as yet
with 15% of households showing a poor or borderline Food
Consumption Score (FCS) in 2020 compared to 16% in
2018.
Nevertheless the extent of the damage to key components of the food supply chain is still not completely quantified. Also, the pandemic still ongoing globally and in the region, Jordan will have to remain attentive to multiple risks that could have adverse effects on the national food security.
