Jordan raises wheat prices for April

The Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Supply in Jordan has increased the selling price of standard wheat for April by JD 4.85 per ton, raising it to JD 172.195 per ton. This price increase applies to wheat produced by private-sector mills and the state-owned Juwaideh Mill, and there has also been a JD 3.783 increase in the selling price of wheat supplied to all mills in the kingdom.
