Lebanese Wheat Trucks Halted En Route to Jordan
The President of the Lebanese Farmers Union confirmed that more than 40 trucks loaded with over 1,200 tons of wheat have remained stationary inside the customs yard since Monday, despite having obtained export permits from the Ministry of Economy to proceed to Jordan. The reasons for the delay are unknown, which has led to a backlog of trucks and disruptions in sales and export operations, negatively affecting farmers and threatening their livelihoods—especially since quantities have been accumulated since last year as a new planting season approaches. Additionally, the mills buy wheat at prices about 20% below the global rate or refuse to purchase altogether, which complicates the sale of agricultural produce.
