Iraq’s Ministry of Trade said
on Tuesday that food basket distributions are continuing uninterrupted, citing
sufficient reserves to stabilize markets and meet emergency demand.
The ministry indicated that deliveries
are being carried out across all provinces to limit price fluctuations and
support food security. Ten full food basket cycles and 10 flour rations were
distributed last year, it added, noting the same pace will continue under the
government’s program.
Authorities are maintaining
oversight of storage and delivery to ensure supplies reach eligible recipients
and meet domestic demand, it said.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of
Agriculture has reopened imports for five crops –cabbage, cauliflower, turnip,
beetroot, and lettuce– after the end of the local production season, citing
declining domestic supply and approval from the Ministerial Council for the
Economy.
