Tridge summary
Egypt and Syria are facing challenges in wheat supplies due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and domestic production remains insufficient. Egypt, with a population of over 103 million and a low self-sufficiency rate, relies heavily on imports, primarily from Russia and Ukraine, and has sufficient grain reserves to last four months.
