Saudi Arabia has assured its citizens that there is no shortage of wheat supplies in the country.
This is amid global shortages exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing war.
The Deputy Governor of the Saudi Grains Organisation (SAGO), Zaid Al Shabanat made the assurance on Tuesday by clarifying that his organisation's strategy is to source grain from multiple countries and continents instead of relying on a single source.
Al Shabanat said the Kingdom possesses sufficient quantities of grain stocks, and that any amount it imports from Russia and Ukraine can be compensated by other sources of imports.
"The Kingdom has also succeeded in overcoming the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, which was greater than the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis."
He also added that a contract was signed last month to make large quantities of grain available to the Kingdom and its markets for the last quarter of 2022.
