Minister of Supply: The strategic reserve of basic commodities is safe and exceeds last year’s rates
Earlier, Dr. Sherif Farouk, Minister of Supply and Internal Trade, confirmed that the state’s strategic reserve of basic commodities is safe and reassuring, pointing out that the reserves of a number of basic commodities exceed the rates of the same period last year, which reflects the strength of the supply system and the state’s continued efforts to enhance food security.
The minister explained that the strategic reserve of wheat is sufficient for safe periods, noting that the decrease in the volume of imports during the current year is a positive indicator of increasing dependence on local wheat.
In a related context, the local wheat supply season last year witnessed a major boom, as supply quantities increased by about 17%, bringing the total amount supplied to more than 4 million tons, which reflects the increase in farmers’ confidence in the supply system and the success of the incentive policies adopted by the state. This comes in light of the government’s plan that aims to reach 5 million tons of local wheat during the next season, in implementation of the directives of the political leadership towards achieving self-sufficiency in supply wheat.
