Al-Defaf Company Invests in Fuel-Efficient Tractor

In Jordan Valley, Al-Defaf Company for Agricultural Products is investing in modern equipment to improve productivity and manage costs in Jordan’s growing agricultural sector. The company, which produces and supplies a range of agricultural goods, identified the need for more efficient machinery to reduce fuel use and improve daily operations.

Through the Green Economy Financing Facility (GEFF) in partnership with Cairo Amman Bank, Al-Defaf received financing of US$ 26,093 to purchase a John Deere 5075E tractor, the first tractor financed under GEFF in Jordan. The modern, fuel-efficient diesel model offers improved engine performance, lower fuel consumption and reduced maintenance needs, making field operations faster and more cost-effective.

The tractor has already made a measurable difference. Fuel use has decreased, operating costs are more predictable, and work can be completed in less time. A company representative said the new equipment has improved efficiency and reduced time spent on daily tasks.

The total investment of US$ 26,093, supported by a 10 per cent cashback incentive of US$ 2,609, is helping the company strengthen its financial stability and plan for future upgrades.

Al-Defaf’s investment shows how access to green financing can help agricultural businesses modernize, cut fuel use and improve long-term competitiveness in Jordan’s farming sector.

The Green Economy Financing Facility (GEFF) in Jordan is developed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and is supported by the European Union (EU) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF).
