Government targets decreasing wheat shortage domestically -El Moselhy

The government is looking to cut the gap between the supply and consumption of wheat in half to 25% within a few years, Al Borsa reports. Supply Minister Aly El Moselhy says this will begin with increasing the yield of wheat fields domestically to 22 ardebs from 18. The Ministry will also work on reducing the amount of wheat wasted, rationalise consumption nationwide, and increase storage capacities.
