Specific Union for Farmers Productive In Jordan
Introduction The specific union was established at the
beginning of the year 2007. as a volunteer
union and all of its members are farmer
women. It was established because a lot
of farmer women in all over Jordan
realized the hard circumstances and big
difficulties that women face like: lack of
occupations, poverty, low standard of
living, violence, lack of a wariness, the
increase in the number of the family
members and misuse of agricultural land.

The mission of the specific union:
- Establish a lot of productivity and service projects .
- To raise the standard of living and give women opportunity to participate and interact with the society, hold many training sessions, conferences and shows and establish a website for farmer women.
Impact of the case study (real or expected)
for rural women and their organisations • SUFW is an organization which fights for women rights ,
organize them in cooperatives and unions and develop them economically by giving them the opportunity to have their own projects
• The law of the General Union of Jordanian farmers, which provides that a member of the union should have possession of the land of not less than 10 acres. We have solved this problem .Rather than owning land women can rent land and that makes it easy for them to be members in the Farmers Union. Therefore we increased the proportion of women in the General Farmer Union in Jordan from less than 1% to 8% and we aspire to increase.
• Develop them culturally by training them and building their capacity through workshops , training sessions , shows and participating in national occasions .

One of the Union’s Projects
One of our important projects is giving small loans for farmers
to establish their own projects for: water harvesting, land
reclamation planting gardens with medicinal plant and
aromatic, and other agricultural activities for the variation of
revenue. And any other productive project.
Training courses are also funded for farmers to spread
awareness between farmer women. We take bank guaranties
to guarantee that the project will continue.
We give small loans to small number of farmers in all areas in
Jordan because we depend on grants from international
organizations.
