Key takeaway Retail prices for wheat flour and rice remained stable in June 2026.
Cereal production is expected to be above average in 2026, driven by a favourable rainy season. Retail prices for wheat flour and rice remained stable in June 2026. The winter cereal harvest took place from mid-May to July 2026.
Rainfall from December 2025 to April 2026 helped replenish soil moisture and raise water levels in reservoirs used for irrigation, supporting crop yields. Government support, including subsidized seeds and modern irrigation systems, also contributed to increased wheat production. Further details on the situation are available from the GIEWS Country Brief, which provides a food security snapshot and forecast for cereal import requirements.
