Syrian farmers get much-needed support to confront wheat crisis
Several organizations in northern Syria have launched programs to support farmers amid new concerns over flour and wheat supplies in the war-torn country.
Idlib is taking steps to grow more of its own wheat in the face of global supply problems.
Humanitarian organizations working in the province are supporting wheat cultivation in an attempt to achieve self-sufficiency and enhance food security in the area.
Bakeries in Idlib currently has a daily consumption of 900 tons of flour.
Flour enters the province as part of the humanitarian aid provided by the UN World Food Program. But this aid may stop amid Russian efforts to close the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey, through which humanitarian aid passes through for the most vulnerable inside Syria. Russia attempts to restrict the entry of this kind of aid through the regime-held areas.
