이란 밀 수입 시장 (6월, 2022)

Georgia has halted exports of wheat and barley until July 1, 2023, due to the ongoing Ukraine conflict and the potential global food crisis. The country's prime minister has signed a decree imposing the export ban, affecting shipments to Iraq and Iran, which are the main recipients of Georgia's barley. The country faces a domestically low barley production of 60 thousand tons this year, contrasting with its annual consumption of 700-800 thousand tons of wheat, 90% of which is imported. The conflict's impact on grain export capabilities, especially with the blockade of Ukrainian ports, is exacerbating concerns of a global food crisis. Countries like India are seeking to expand import options, and China is stepping in by increasing exports of US corn and soybeans.
