Description
Requested wheat millers, traders and processors to source 60 percent of their wheat from local producers at a premium price, starting the 2021/22 marketing year. Local buyers will be allowed to import only 40 percent of total wheat. The strategy seeks to encourage local farmers to increase wheat production and reduce the country\'s dependence on wheat imports.
