Syria's Crop Import Ban

Syria banned orange imports from November 11, 2026, through March 31, 2027, to protect farmers and regulate the market during peak local production, when oversupply can push prices below the costs of harvesting and transport. The Latakia Agriculture Directorate estimated this season’s output at around 639,000 tons, up nearly 54% from 415,000 tons the previous season. The decision is part of seasonal restrictions on imports of other agricultural products, while its effects on consumers will depend on whether production is sufficient and markets can store and distribute it.
