National Agricultural Research Center

The National Agricultural Research Center (NARC) is Jordan’s governmental applied research institution for agriculture, headquartered in Al‑Baq’a with a network of regional centers and field stations reflecting the country’s climate zones. Co‑located sites enable collaborative field trials and pilot‑scale validation with growers and agribusinesses across the Kingdom. Specialized facilities include the National Seed Bank and a national herbarium, alongside analytical and testing services available through the center. Research is supported by national government funding and competitively awarded international programs. An innovation and entrepreneurship incubator provides technical, legal, and commercial support to startups and SMEs, creating a structured path from proof‑of‑concept to market.
