Jordan’s Wheat Reserves Sufficient for 5.5 Months, Minister Says

Jordan: Jordan's Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply Yarub Qudah announced that the Kingdom's wheat reserves are adequate to cover consumption for 5.5 months, with an additional four-month supply already contracted and on its way. This statement was made during a meeting of the Parliamentary Economy and Investment Committee.

According to Qatar News Agency, Qudah also informed the committee that current stocks of animal feed can last for approximately eight months. He highlighted that a decision has been implemented since November to restrict the export of essential food commodities without prior government approval. This measure aims to protect national reserves.

Qudah emphasized that the government would not impose any increases in taxes or customs duties on goods, despite higher transportation costs or changes in supply routes. The meeting, attended by committee members and government officials, was organized to evaluate supply chain conditions and ensure the sustainability and security of strategic reserves of basic commodities amid ongoing regional developments.
