A Significant Milestone for Jordan’s Garment and Textile Industry Advancing Decent Work, Strengthening Labour Governance, and Enhancing Global Competitiveness.

The Jordan Garment & Textile Exporters Association (JGATE) welcomes the signing of a landmark agreement between the Government of Jordan, represented by the Ministry of Labour, and the International Labour Organization (ILO), marking an important milestone in the continued development of Jordan’s garment and textile sector.

The agreement, signed on 19 October 2026, launches the “Better Work and Labour Governance to Support Jordan’s Garment Sector” project, establishing a strategic framework to strengthen labour standards, enhance workers’ rights, improve factory compliance, and reinforce the sector’s long-term sustainability and competitiveness.

This initiative represents a major step toward advancing responsible manufacturing through stronger labour governance, fair recruitment practices, effective grievance mechanisms, improved worker support services, and enhanced social dialogue among government, employers, and workers.

For JGATE, this milestone reflects an important shared vision: a globally competitive garment industry built on decent work, responsible business practices, and strong institutional partnerships.

As the voice of Jordan’s garment and textile exporters, JGATE remains committed to supporting the successful implementation of this initiative, working alongside the Ministry of Labour, the ILO, JCI, industry partners, and workers’ representatives to translate these commitments into meaningful and sustainable progress.

We commend the Government of Jordan and the ILO for this important achievement, which further reinforces Jordan’s commitment to international labour standards and its position as a reliable, responsible, and competitive global sourcing destination.

A stronger industry. Better working conditions. Greater global confidence.

🇯🇴- 0% Tariffs. 0% Duties. 100% Opportunity: Jordan Strengthens Its Position as One of the World’s Most Competitive Apparel Sourcing Destinations

In today’s world of shifting tariffs, rising costs, and supply-chain uncertainty, certainty has become one of the most valuable advantages a sourcing destination can offer.

That is why the latest announcement by the United States Trade Representative is such an important milestone for Jordan’s textile and apparel industry.
Qualifying Jordanian textile and apparel exports will continue to enter the U.S. market free from the new Section 301 tariffs while maintaining duty-free access under the U.S.–Jordan Free Trade Agreement.

For global brands, retailers, and importers, this is not simply a trade announcement. It is a strategic sourcing advantage.
At a time when many competing destinations are facing higher tariffs and greater uncertainty, Jordan continues to offer what buyers value most: predictable costs, reliable market access, and long-term supply-chain confidence.

Combined with more than two decades of manufacturing experience, established relationships with leading global brands, a skilled workforce, and a strong commitment to responsible production, Jordan is uniquely positioned to support more resilient and competitive sourcing strategies.

At JGATE, we see this moment as an opportunity to deepen existing partnerships, build new ones, attract investment, and further strengthen Jordan’s position as a trusted and strategic apparel sourcing destination for the U.S. market.

To brands and sourcing leaders around the world, the message is clear: Jordan offers certainty where the global market increasingly offers complexity.
0% Tariffs. 0% Duties. 100% Opportunity.

JGATE welcomes the continued efforts to strengthen Jordan–U.S. trade relations and enhance the competitiveness of Jordan’s garment sector in the U.S. market.

We value the constructive dialogue with the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) and industry stakeholders, which reinforces our shared commitment to responsible manufacturing, sustainable compliance, and expanding trade and investment opportunities for Jordan’s garment sector. 🇯🇴🇺🇸

القضاة يبحث في واشنطن تعزيز تنافسية صادرات الألبسة الأردنية

واشنطن -

شارك وزير الصناعة والتجارة والتموين، المهندس يعرب القضاة، في جلسة حوارية موسعة استضافتها الجمعية الأمريكية للملابس والأحذية (AAFA) في العاصمة الأمريكية واشنطن، لبحث سبل ترسيخ العلاقات التجارية الثنائية وجذب استثمارات أمريكية جديدة إلى المملكة.

وحضر الجلسة، التي دعا إليها النائب التنفيذي لرئيس الجمعية الأمريكية للملابس والأحذية، نيت هيرمان، سفيرة المملكة لدى الولايات المتحدة الدكتورة دينا قعوار، وممثل قطاع الصناعات الجلدية والمحيكات في غرفة صناعة الأردن، المهندس إيهاب القادري، إلى جانب ممثلين عن الجمعية الأردنية لمصدري الألبسة والمنسوجات، وعدد من كبار المستثمرين وممثلي كبرى شركات الملابس في الولايات المتحدة.

وأكد القضاة، خلال الجلسة، التزام الأردن المطلق بتعميق الشراكة الاقتصادية مع الولايات المتحدة، داعياً كبرى الشركات الأمريكية إلى استكشاف الفرص الواعدة التي تتيحها البيئة الاستثمارية في المملكة، والاستفادة القصوى من اتفاقية التجارة الحرة (FTA) الموقعة بين البلدين.

واستعرض القضاة سبل تسهيل إجراءات تدفق الصادرات الأردنية من الألبسة والمحيكات إلى السوق الأمريكية، بما يضمن تعزيز قدرتها التنافسية وتذليل أي عقبات قد تواجهها أو تواجه سلاسل التوريد الخاصة بها.

وشهدت الجلسة نقاشاً معمقاً ركز على خطط تعزيز منظومة الامتثال المستدام لمعايير العمل الدولية، ودعم سلاسل التوريد المسؤولة بالتعاون مع الشركاء الدوليين، بما يواكب المتطلبات العالمية الحديثة ويعزز مكانة المنتج الأردني في الأسواق الأمريكية والعالمية.

من جانبه، أشار المهندس إيهاب القادري إلى الأهمية الاستراتيجية لقطاع الألبسة والمحيكات، مبيناً أن الصادرات الأردنية من الألبسة إلى الولايات المتحدة قد تجاوزت حاجز 1.5 مليار دينار أردني (نحو 2.1 مليار دولار) خلال العام الماضي، مع استمرار مؤشرات النمو الإيجابية خلال العام الحالي، وهو ما يعكس الجودة العالية للمنتج الأردني، وثقة الشركاء الأمريكيين ببيئة الإنتاج المحلية والتزامها المستدام.

وأعرب ممثلو الشركات الأمريكية عن تقديرهم للمزايا التنافسية التي يقدمها الاقتصاد الأردني، مؤكدين تطلعهم إلى توسيع شراكاتهم الاستثمارية والتجارية، والاستفادة من منظومة التسهيلات اللوجستية والإنتاجية التي تتيحها المملكة بوصفها مركزاً إقليمياً حيوياً للتصنيع والتصدير.
