Alrai - The head of the Jordan Chamber of Industry, Eng. Fathi Al-Jaghbir, confirmed that Jordanian dairy companies have adopted the recent government approach to reducing the sales tax rate on dairy items and working to reduce their prices.

He said, in a press statement today, Wednesday, "The companies have worked to reduce the price of a milk product by one kilogram to become 1.20 dinars instead of 1.25 dinars per kilo, in addition to providing items at special prices to support families, especially those with limited income."

He added that dairy companies provide a number of their products in economic packages of 4 and 5 kilograms, in which the price of a kilo of milk starts from 70 piasters, for example to the final consumer, surprisingly what he called the fierce attack on these companies.

He pointed out that dairy companies had previously borne the burden of the tax difference of 6 percent, which was imposed on dairy products and their derivatives in 2018, and at that time they did not raise prices and the consumer did not bear the tax difference.

Eng. Al-Jaghbeir pointed out that the reduction also affected many types of white cheese and soft yogurt through promotional campaigns and competing offers to support families.
