Lebanon’s wheat production has been severely impacted by the ongoing conflict, with farmlands in the south and the Bekaa Valley suffering extensive damage.
Reports indicate that the war has disrupted entire agricultural ecosystems across the country, leaving large areas of arable land unusable and threatening the nation’s food supply.
Farmers in the southern regions and the fertile Bekaa Valley have seen their crops destroyed by shelling and other wartime activities, reducing the amount of wheat that can be harvested this season.
Local authorities and agricultural experts warn that the loss of wheat output could exacerbate food insecurity and increase dependence on imports.
The situation underscores the broader humanitarian toll of the conflict, as essential food production is compromised and rural communities face heightened economic hardship.
