After the statement of the US ambassador. Trade Euphrates News: We don’t need any wheat from abroad
The Ministry of Commerce confirmed today, Thursday, that the country does not need to import any wheat from abroad during the next year 2024.
“Iraq’s store of wheat is still covered until the beginning of next season,” the ministry spokesman, Muthanna Al-Faraiji, told {Euphrates News}.
He pointed out that “Iraq’s need for imported wheat for the purposes of mixing only and improving the quality of flour, but as a quantity, it covers Iraqi baskets, we do not need any external quantity.”
“Do you know that Iraq will import 3.8 million metric tons of wheat over the next year to meet all Iraqi bread requirements?” US Ambassador to Baghdad Alina Romanowski said in a tweet on the X platform earlier today.
“U.S. companies will help meet the growing demand for wheat in Iraq while the Iraqi government increases locally grown wheat production,” she added.
