Al-Tarawneh Confirms Grain Intake
The article relates to the increase in local wheat and barley production in Jordan during the current harvest season, with approximately 110,000 tons received so far, and projections indicating that the total may reach 130-140 thousand tons, the highest level in 15 years. The abundant rainy season and plentiful production reflect favorable conditions, although domestic output covers only about 10% of the country's consumption, which amounts to around two million tons annually. This necessitates continued imports of wheat and barley to bolster the strategic stockpile, sufficient for about 8-10 months. It is worth noting that the delay in harvesting operations is due to the limited number of harvesters and traditional methods, which cause delays in reception; however, this does not impact the quality of the crop. The silos have a storage capacity of over 1.8 million tons, though there are challenges related to handling the increased intake during the short harvest period.
