The Jordan Valley is the country’s farming heartland. Sitting below sea level with a warm winter climate, it produces tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, citrus, bananas, stone fruit, and grapes, much of it early in the season when prices are high and Gulf and European markets are hungry for fresh produce.
It is also home ground for Dragon Ferti. As a Jordanian manufacturer, Dragon Ferti supplies Valley growers with locally made specialty fertilizers, which means no long import waits, no port delays, and technical support close at hand. This guide covers the Valley’s main crops and the products that fit them.
The local advantage
For a Jordan Valley farm, buying from a local manufacturer changes the economics. Imported fertilizer arrives on someone else’s schedule, and a delayed shipment can mean a missed application window during a tight production season. Dragon Ferti is made in Jordan from local Potash and Phosphate, so supply is fast and dependable, and the team behind it understands Valley conditions firsthand.
The quality systems behind that production are ISO certified, which matters for growers exporting to markets with strict residue and quality standards.
Water is the limiting factor
Jordan is one of the most water-scarce countries on earth, and in the Valley every drop counts. That makes efficient fertigation not just good practice but a necessity. Delivering nutrients straight to the root through drip irrigation wastes nothing, and liquid fertilizers make this simple.
The Dragon Liquid range is built for exactly this. Dragon Flow Balanced handles general feeding, Dragon High-Phosphorus Liquid supports establishment and rooting, and Dragon Flow High-PK drives flowering and fruit quality. All are ready to inject and free of chloride and heavy metals.
Vegetables for export
Tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers are the Valley’s bread and butter, and quality is what wins repeat orders from Gulf buyers. A good program builds the plant through its stages and then focuses hard on fruit quality.
Dragon Triple N supports strong vegetative growth, Dragon Flowering supports flower set, and Dragon Fruity feeds the fruiting stage for size and quality. For growers running covered production, which is expanding fast in the Valley, our greenhouse fertigation guide lays out a full program.
Citrus and stone fruit
The Valley’s citrus and stone fruit need steady feeding and good fruit-quality support. The key is potassium for size and sugar, plus calcium and boron for fruit set and rind or skin quality. Dragon Fruity and Dragon BorCal cover this work well. For citrus specifically, our Egypt citrus guide goes deeper on the nutrient program.
Coping with heat
Valley summers are intense, and heat stress can stall a crop just when it should be productive. Biostimulants help the plant keep working through the hard weeks. Dragon Boost and Dragon Elixir support plants through heat and stress, keeping growth and fruit development on track.

Frequently asked questions
Why buy from a local manufacturer instead of importing fertilizer?
Speed and reliability. Imported fertilizer arrives on a fixed shipping schedule, and a delay can cause a missed application during a tight season. Dragon Ferti is made in Jordan, so Valley growers get fast, dependable supply and local technical support, with no port or customs delays to manage.
What fertilizer is best for Jordan Valley vegetables?
A stage-based program works best: nitrogen support for vegetative growth, flowering support at set, and potassium-led feeding for fruit quality. The Dragon Liquid range suits the drip fertigation most Valley farms use, and specialty products like Dragon Flowering and Dragon Fruity target specific stages.
How does water scarcity affect fertilizer choice in Jordan?
With water tightly limited, every drop has to count, which makes drip fertigation essential. Fully soluble liquid and powder fertilizers deliver nutrients straight to the root with no waste. Dragon Liquid products are designed for this kind of high-efficiency, low-waste feeding.
Are Dragon Ferti products good for export-quality produce?
Yes. They are free of chloride and heavy metals, and the production is ISO certified, which supports the residue and quality standards that Gulf and European buyers require. Clean nutrition is a direct contributor to the fruit quality that wins export orders.
