Jordan: Grain and Feed Annual
Link to report:
MY2024/25 wheat imports are estimated to reach 1.2 million metric tons as Jordan's government begins filling its strategic grain reserves to mitigate inflationary shocks caused by geopolitical crises. MY2024/25 wheat exports are lowered to 50,000 tons, down 40,000 tons from MY2023/24, as in-kind food assistance programs supplying Syria wind down. Barley production remains consistent with higher consumption driven by livestock export markets and government subsidy programs. MY2024/25 corn imports are forecast at 730,000 tons, up slightly, based on recovery from disease outbreaks and expanded corn processing capacity. Rice consumption remains steady, driven by cultural traditions and import preferences. Jordan's grain and feed market policy emphasizes the need for comprehensive strategies to ensure food security and affordability.
