Traders sceptic over Syria's wheat reserves claims
- Syria: Sunday, February 10 - 2013 at 05:00
Estimates by Syrian officials that the government has enough wheat stored to last a year have been challenged by international traders who said the embattled country has used a lot of their strategic stocks, Reuters has reported. Barter deals with Ukrainian state agencies and Iran have helped Syria maintain purchases during the last year but "they are unable to purchase bigger volumes as the country is still under embargo," said a Middle East-based trader. Earlier last week Syria issued a new tender to purchase 100,000 tonnes of soft milling wheat with a March 4 deadline. "Grain shipments are reaching Syria and their cargo ports are operating, but the cargo sizes are much smaller and usually they are parcel-sized consignments," a second Middle East-based trader said.
