Al-Souriya for Grains boosts capacity to 2.5M tons
The Syrian General Corporation for Grain announced a plan to increase the storage capacity for wheat stocks in Syria to 2.5 million tons by the 2027 season, representing an increase of 700,000 tons compared to this year. This comes after difficulties faced in storing around 2.7 million tons of wheat in the last season due to insufficient storage capacities, which forced them to store quantities outdoors, incurring high costs and risks. Construction work will commence on seven sites for metal silos in the governorates of Hasakah, Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, Aleppo, and Idlib as part of a plan to enhance storage capacity, with a schedule for project completion emphasizing timely execution. The plan also includes the development of silos at 15 additional sites, with work expected to begin in early December. The estimated wheat production for the 2026 season exceeded 3 million tons, while the corporation received 2.7 million tons—an increase of 150,000 tons over the annual need of 2.55 million tons. This is a significant rise compared to the 2025 production, which was only 934,000 tons.
