FAO: Libya requires 3.3M tons of grains
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) predicted that Libya's import needs for cereals will reach approximately 3.3 million tons in the 2026-2027 season, representing an increase of about 7% above the average, due to weak local production caused by drought that affected cultivated areas. It indicated that cereal production will amount to around 150,000 tons, which is 20% less than the average of the past five years, with an expectation that the country will import about 1.5 million tons of wheat, accounting for more than 40% of its imports. FAO also warned of continued inflationary pressures on food prices, noting that the inflation rate rose to 18% in May, following a 15% decline in the value of the Libyan dinar, which hampers the supply of essential goods and exacerbates economic and humanitarian challenges.
