Ministry of Agriculture eases seed tariffs
In October 2026, the Lebanese Council of Ministers approved the exemption of vegetable seeds from the 5% customs duties, aiming to support farmers and reduce production costs. Agriculture Minister Nizar Hani confirmed that this step enhances the quality of Lebanese produce and helps farmers compete in both local and international markets, especially since Lebanon does not produce hybrid seeds for many vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and melons, making imports a necessity. This initiative is part of the ministry's efforts to improve the cost of agricultural inputs, support the agricultural sector, and strengthen national food security.
