Jordan's largest commodity exports by value. Each bar's share is that commodity's share of world trade in it, not its share of Jordan's own exports — the two are unrelated and shown so a bar near 100% marks a commodity Jordan dominates globally rather than one it merely exports a lot of.

Jordan's own tracked-export mix

Unlike the chart above, this treemap sizes each commodity by its share of Jordan's own $2 billion of tracked exports, not by world trade. Phosphate rock alone is 52% of it. See the full export dependency report for how Jordan compares with other countries.

FAO reports a negative domestic supply for Jordan's eggs (−11 thousand tonnes; production 89 thousand tonnes, imports 2 thousand tonnes, exports 102 thousand tonnes), meaning exports exceed production plus imports in the year. These are not counted as use and are left out of the table above.
