Jandaíra is a Brazilian municipality located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. It is situated in the microregion of Baixa do Açu and the mesoregion of Oeste Potiguar.
The municipality's economy is primarily based on agriculture, livestock, and services. Significant agricultural products include cashew nuts, fruits, and beans. Livestock farming focuses mainly on cattle and goats.

The municipality is characterized by the semiarid climate typical of the Northeast region of Brazil. Rainfall is irregular and concentrated in a few months of the year, leading to challenges for agriculture.
Jandaíra is governed by a mayor and a city council, elected by the local population. The municipality provides basic public services such as education, healthcare, and sanitation, although these services may face challenges due to resource limitations.
