Al-Tarawneh reports 110,000 tons of local wheat and barley
The Ta’oura Illuminations: Jordan has received approximately 110,000 tons of locally produced wheat and barley so far, with expected shipments to reach 130,000 to 140,000 tons during the harvest season—its highest in around 15 years. The current season reflects a abundant production due to heavy rainfall, but local output covers only about 10% of the kingdom’s total consumption, which is roughly two million tons annually. As a result, Jordan continues importing wheat and barley to bolster its strategic reserves, which remain sufficient for 8 to 10 months. Harvest operations have halted due to a shortage of combines and traditional harvesting methods, but the grain quality remains acceptable given proper storage practices. Storage capacity exceeds 1.8 million tons, despite challenges posed by the concentrated intake period during the short harvest season.
