Jordan: Grain and Feed Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   JO2023-0005
Jordan’s MY 2023/24 wheat imports are forecasted to reach 1.25 million MT -- with Ukraine, Romania, and Russia dominating wheat imports in the first seven months of calendar year 2023. Jordan has begun to diversify its sources for barley (bringing in more from Australia and less from traditional European suppliers). Jordanian corn imports are still dominated by Argentina, supplying nearly 60 percent of all corn in calendar year 2022, and Brazil, with the United States supplying only a nominal volume. Jordan increasingly sourced rice from India last year, given its price advantages, but the United States remains a competitive supplier in the market.
