Wheat protests in Syria mark the first test for the new government, according to report
The article discusses the protests by wheat farmers in Syria that began in May, related to the government's decision to set a fixed purchase price for the crop, which sparked widespread anger among farmers due to rising production costs. In response, the government increased the buy price by approximately $70 per ton, but this move raised questions about the future of government support for agriculture—whether Syria will continue with a traditional support model or move toward economic reforms that involve reducing the state's role in the agricultural sector, amid significant challenges in restoring wheat production and achieving food security.
