Rudaw reports:

The Kurdish ministry of agriculture says wheat farmers in the Kurdistan Region will likely face hard-hitting regulations in Baghdad this year when selling their crops.

Anwar Omar, a general manager at the ministry, told Rudaw that Iraqi authorities had introduced new rules regarding the purchase of the harvested wheat in the Kurdistan Region, which would likely reduce the overall sale of Kurdish wheat.

“The main problem is that if Iraq decides not to purchase our farmers’ wheat, large portions of it will be wasted, as we have no available silos to store it,” Omar said.
