Lebanese wheat trucks held at Masnaa border
The Secretary-General of the Lebanese Union of Farmers announced that more than 40 trucks loaded with over 1,200 tons of wheat have been standing inside the customs yard at the Al-Masna border crossing since Monday, despite having export permits to Jordan. The reasons for the delay, which are hindering the sale and export process, are due to the Lebanese Ministry of Economy postponing the completion of procedures without clear reasons, leading to a backlog of trucks and disrupting farmers' livelihoods. Additionally, quantities of last year's harvest are still stacked up, while the current year's crop is ready. Farmers are facing marketing problems, as mills are selling wheat at prices 20% below the global rate or refusing to buy.
