Jordan says Israeli carrots "invading markets" during Ramadan

Al Ghad writes about Jordanian markets selling Israeli carrots, but labeling them as coming from Syria or Turkey.

"Citizens" complained of the presence of large amounts of Israeli carrots in the local  vegetable markets since the beginning of the month of Ramadan.

They say that the sellers of vegetables hide the origin of the product, claiming that they are imported from Syria.

The article says that due to the reluctance of many Jordanian citizens to buy Israeli products those traders are resorting to removing the labels and putting them on display racks.

The article claims that Israel "flooded the markets" these carrots, which are of high quality.

The agriculture minister admits importing vegetables from Israel to meet demand as necessary, but insists that they do not originate in the territories.
