Food Shortages in Syria, United Arab Emirates

From The Jerusalem Post by THE MEDIA LINE NEWS AGENCY

This year's wheat harvest in Syria will be the lowest in nearly two decades, the Syrian business newsletter The Syria Report reported.

According to the newsletter, the news could not have come at a worse time for the Syrian government: Instead of being able to export wheat and enjoy the current high prices on the world market, the government will now have to import wheat, adding an extra burden to the country's economy.
