BAGHDAD - Iraq is not concerned with the international wheat crisis, the Iraqi Trade Ministry said on Monday.

"Iraq has stored enough wheat to cover the ration card system until the end of this year," the ministry said in a release on Monday as received by Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

It explained that the ministry in this regard has a policy on importation that adopts multiple sources and countries of origin.

"Dispatches of wheat are on the way to Iraq from Canada, the U.S., and Australia," the ministry added.
