Jordan's essential food supplies status
The Jordanian Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Supply has confirmed that the country's strategic stockpiles of basic food commodities are safe and stable, sufficient to meet domestic needs for approximately 9.5 to 9.6 months. Data shows that the wheat stock amounts to around 610,000 tons, covering 6.4 months, plus contracted quantities that suffice for an additional 3.2 months, bringing the total to about 9.6 months. Similarly, barley stock stands at 609,000 tons, enough for 7 months, and with an additional 220,000 tons available, the total reaches 9.5 months. Other goods such as sugar, rice, oils, and pulses are maintained at safe levels, ranging from two to four months. The ministry is working in coordination with the private sector to enhance these stocks, with ongoing monitoring to ensure stable supplies and reasonable prices for citizens.
