Ministry of Agriculture: Collection of Local Wheat and Barley Crops Begins - Jordan News
The Secretary-General of the Ministry of Agriculture, Eng. Mohammad Al-Hayari, announced that the Cabinet's decision to begin purchasing local wheat and barley from the 2024/2025 agricultural season reaffirms the state's commitment to supporting the agricultural sector. اضافة اعلان In a press statement, Al-Hayari stated that specialized committees under the Central Committee for Local Grain Procurement began receiving wheat and barley in various regions of the Kingdom as of last Friday, and the process will continue until the 7th of next month. The expected quantity of wheat and barley to be received is estimated at 36,000 tons, with around 424 certificates of origin anticipated to be issued to farmers through a dedicated electronic platform—part of a broader plan to streamline procedures and accelerate the digital transformation process. He noted that the committees supervising the receiving and inspection processes include representatives from the Ministries of Agriculture, Industry and Trade, Finance, the Audit Bureau, the Cooperative Corporation, and the National Agricultural Research Center. These teams are tasked with purchasing, inspecting, verifying certificates, and field-checking the authenticity of the crop production. Al-Hayari emphasized the importance of farmers adhering to the approved production certificates and the allocated quantities based on cultivated land areas, as documented by field inspection reports. A tolerance margin of up to 15% over the approved quantity is permitted. Farmers in northern Jordan are delivering their grains to Irbid silos, while those in the central region are using the Juwaideh silos in Amman, and a collection center in Al-Rabba, Karak, has been designated for southern farmers. The government treasury will cover the cost of transporting grains from Karak to Juwaideh. These efforts, Al-Hayari explained, fall within an integrated government approach to support local production, enhance national food security, and encourage farmers to expand the cultivation of strategic crops. The aim is to stabilize the market and secure fair returns for Jordanian producers. The Cabinet set the procurement price at 420 JOD per ton of wheat and 370 JOD per ton of barley. The government will also cover 75 JOD per ton for sifting and sterilization costs, while the Cooperative Corporation will cover 25 JOD per ton for sifting residues and seed packaging. Additionally, the Cabinet approved a 50 JOD per ton discount on the sale of wheat and barley seeds to farmers for the 2025/2026 season, with wheat seed sold at 450 JOD per ton (down from a purchase price of 500 JOD) and barley seed at 370 JOD per ton (down from 420 JOD).
