The Iraqi Ministry of Trade announced the completion of its wheat acquisition for the current season, securing over 3.19 million tons of locally produced wheat. This represents a significant harvest and demonstrates increased domestic production capacity. The procurement process has now concluded, according to the ministry’s statement released Saturday. This purchase supports Iraqi farmers and reduces the country’s reliance on wheat imports. The substantial quantity collected indicates a successful growing season and effective government support for the agricultural sector. Details regarding the financial implications and distribution of the wheat were not immediately available. This acquisition is expected to contribute to Iraq’s food security.
