Senate Agriculture and Irrigation Committee Chairman Mohsen al-Batran presented a request to discuss the Ministry of Agriculture’s policy for increasing self-sufficiency in strategic commodities and crops, warning that the gap between production and consumption was widening. According to his presentation, self-sufficiency stood at 47% for wheat, 70% for corn, 95% for rice, 75% for red meat, 33% for fava beans, and 12% for oils. He called for expanding agriculture both horizontally and vertically, closing the food gap, and increasing the value added to exports through food processing, while addressing challenges including water scarcity, limited land, and climate change.
