No burden on the crop.
Regarding the extent of the impact of the country’s weather fluctuations on the crop, Jad explained that the weather fluctuations did not have any impact on the wheat crop grown in various regions of the Republic, indicating that the severe drop in temperatures that the country witnessed during the months of January and February contributed greatly to the process of maturation of ears and kernels, which makes us optimistic.
