The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply announced on Wednesday that Jordan’s strategic wheat reserves are sufficient to meet domestic consumption for 10 months, while barley reserves cover eight months. Ministry spokesperson Yanal Barmawi said the government continues to issue tenders to secure additional imports from multiple countries, primarily Romania, Bulgaria, and Russia, to bolster reserves and ensure food security. Barmawi also revealed that construction is underway for new silos in Qatraneh with a storage capacity of 600,000 tons. Upon completion by the end of this year, the Kingdom’s total grain storage capacity will reach 2.31 million tons. (ICE AMMAN)
