Jordan's government has allocated JD1.06 billion to subsidise strategic food commodities between 2023 and 2026, covering bread, wheat, barley, bran and household cooking gas. Ministry of Finance figures show total annual subsidies of JD277 million in 2023, JD289 million in 2024, JD242.5 million in 2025 and JD251 million in 2026, with wheat and barley support making up the bulk.
Sustained state subsidies on wheat, barley and bran keep domestic feed and bread input costs cushioned in Jordan, which supports steady import demand for these grains regardless of world price swings.
After 137 past neutral policy events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (43% higher; middle half -1.9% to +1.2%), and +0.3% over 20.
