Armenia to Extend Wheat Export Ban Through Mid-2027

Armenia's government plans to extend its temporary ban on wheat exports for an additional six months, according to reporting from Hetq. The restriction will remain in place from January 8, 2027, through July 8, 2027.

The export ban is part of Armenia's efforts to manage domestic grain supplies and food security. The extension suggests the government believes continued restrictions are necessary to maintain adequate wheat availability for the domestic market during the first half of 2027.

Details regarding the reasoning behind the extension and any potential impact on Armenian farmers or international trade partners were not specified in available reporting.
