Jordan has growing ideas

Jordan is considering lifting its ban on the commercial cultivation of tobacco, according to a Roya News story citing an Al Ghad report and relayed by the TMA.
Tobacco cultivation has been banned in Jordan for the past 10 years, except in the case of small quantities for personal use.
Quoting an unnamed source at the Ministry of Health, Al Ghad, reported that the Government was considering allowing leaf cultivation for commercial purposes.
The Government had formed a committee, comprising representatives of the ministries of health, agriculture and trade-and-industry, and other organizations, to study the feasibility of such a move.
