Syria Gains Wheat Self-Sufficiency

Syria achieved self-sufficiency in wheat production during the 2026 season, with the total quantities received reaching approximately 2.7 million tons, surpassing the estimated annual need of about 2.55 million tons. This reflects an improvement in agricultural productivity thanks to favorable climatic conditions and supportive government measures. This achievement comes after efforts to improve infrastructure, provide incentives to farmers, organize receipt operations through the electronic center, and restore the readiness of silos. This self-sufficiency is considered a strategic step that enhances food security and reduces dependency on imports, with expectations that it will help stimulate the agricultural economy and lessen pressure on foreign currencies. It is also worth highlighting that the success of this season depends on continued support for farmers, improvement of pricing policies, and the development of storage infrastructure to ensure sustainable production.
