Pakistan’s traditional focus as a producer and consumer of grain has been on wheat, which is the main staple of diets in the country. However, a growing poultry sector, bolstered by increasing demand, has provided a market for sharply rising maize output. The International Grains Council (IGC) puts Pakistan’s total grains production at 34 million tonnes, up from 33.3 million the previous year. The wheat crop is forecast at 25.5 million tonnes, up from 24.9 million. Sorghum output is put at an unchanged 100,000 tonnes. . . .

China's wheat imports hit the highest level in more than two decades. The country is accounting for 19% of global wheat consumption right now. According to China's customs data, the U.S. supplied 3 million metric tons of wheat imports during the last marketing year, which equates to a 28% share. Before the 2010/2011 marketing year, the country's typical wheat imports totaled 1 million metric tons or less.
Recently, that amount bumped up to an average of 3.5 million metric tons in most years. Experts say the surge this year can be attributed to China's strong demand for wheat use in animal feed, replenishing the reserves, and efforts to meet commitments under the Phase One Trade Agreement. China's imports accounting for 19% of global wheat consumption is four times more than the U.S. share, purchasing an estimated 10.6 million metric tons.

The new social enterprises in Lebanon’s entrepreneurial landscape have not been able to take part in the post-COVID-19 global recovery and accelerated reopening; already severely crippled by limited access to financing and the loss of a sizeable portion of their imports, they also have to contend with the surge in prices of commodities worldwide, making it ever more difficult for them to maintain productivity, much less profitability and job creation.
