The Ministry of Investment has recently unveiled an investment opportunity for entrepreneurs seeking to participate in the development of the new Amman Slaughterhouse project. According to details shared on the “Invest in Jordan” platform, interested investors can engage in the project through the “Design-Build-Operate-Transfer (DBOT)” model, in collaboration with the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM). In a statement on Monday, the Ministry emphasized the importance of conducting the project under the municipality’s oversight, ensuring compliance with all pertinent regulations, and optimizing the efficiency of the modern slaughterhouse facilities. The project promises to equip the new Amman slaughterhouse with cutting-edge technologies and ample capacity to meet the anticipated meat and poultry requirements of Amman, Zarqa, and Al-Ruseifa for the next 25 years. “To uphold the highest standards of hygiene and public health, the facility will adhere to rigorous protocols in animal slaughtering and food processing,” the ministry added, noting that all procedures related to slaughtering and associated services will align with the Jordanian standards, as well as international regulations, including those set by the European Union, in addition to the principles of Islamic halal. The Ministry envisions an investment size of approximately $60 million, with an estimated internal rate of return ranging between 15% to 17%. As part of the project’s development plan, the GAM has earmarked three plots of land, covering an impressive total area of 140,000 square meters in the strategic Madouna area, situated close to the livestock market in Ouhod, eastern Amman. Safeguarding the environment is paramount in this venture, and the project incorporates an advanced wastewater treatment plant, which will recycle treated water for additional internal or agricultural applications. Furthermore, plans include the establishment of a state-of-the-art waste-to-energy power station to optimize sustainability efforts. The selected location offers significant advantages with its mostly flat terrain and excellent connectivity to major road networks. Moreover, the proximity to Queen Alia International Airport, the Aqaba Special Economic Zone, and accessible overland export routes to Iraq and Gulf Cooperation Council countries further enhance the project’s appeal.
