> Iran announced zero-tariff import quotas for 3 million metric tons of wheat and 1.5 million tons of barley from Eurasian countries.

## Why it matters

The quotas support demand for imported grain, with Russia and Kazakhstan positioned to supply most of Iran’s wheat needs. Increased buying could be supportive for wheat and barley export prices from those origins, although the stated quota exceeds the FAO estimate for barley imports.
