Jordan's wheat and barley yields double
Jordan experienced a significant increase in grain production during 2026, particularly in wheat and barley, due to favorable weather conditions and abundant, regular rainfall. The total grain output reached approximately 150,000 tons, marking an increase of over 50% compared to previous rates, with barley production soaring by 221.4% and wheat by 197.3% compared to 2025. This represents the first such surge in about 15 years, with roughly 110,000 tons of locally produced grains received so far. It is expected that the quantities will reach 130,000 to 140,000 tons as the harvest season continues, although the production still covers only about 10% of the total annual consumption, which is estimated to be around two million tons. The aim of this increase is to enhance food security and reduce reliance on imports.
