Jordan's Ministry of Finance allocated JD171 million to wheat and barley support in 2026, down from JD180 million for wheat, barley and bran in 2025. Total subsidies for essential commodities rose 3.5% to JD251 million.
Lower Jordanian grain subsidies have little direct effect on global grain prices, though they may affect the country's import demand for wheat and barley feed grains at the margin.
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.
