The bakeries unions in Lebanon have warned, “of a disaster that may occur in the bakeries and bakeries sector in the event that the import movement in the Black Sea is subjected to security and military chaos due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, because Lebanon does not have stocks of wheat and grains for more than two and a half months, due to the loss of silos in The fourth of August, following the old explosion that struck the city of Beirut and the port.

In a statement, the bakeries unions called on “the caretaker prime minister, the speaker of parliament, the minister of economy, political parties and leaders, and everyone working in public affairs to move quickly to contain the disaster that awaits the Lebanese people.”

The unions considered “the statement of the Minister of Economy regarding the reconstruction of the silos with the stroke of a pen from the dear State of Kuwait” as “an honorable request stemming from citizenship and concern for the Lebanese food security, which is threatened by the chaos in the region and the collapsing financial situation in Lebanon.”

And she continued, “In addition to the confidence of all of us and the confidence of the Minister of Economy in the State of Kuwait, which was never late in helping Lebanon through thick and thin.”

The bakeries unions concluded their statement, appealing to “all brotherly countries of Lebanon to stand by it to rebuild the silos, so that Lebanon has a stock of wheat and grains that protects it from the evils of crises and hunger.”
