A cargo vessel carrying 32,800 metric tons of raw sugar from Brazil docked at Tartous Port on Wednesday, as part of Syria’s ongoing efforts to stabilize domestic food supplies and support the local market through maritime imports.
Speaking to SANA, Mazen Alloush, Director of Public Relations at the General Authority for Land and Sea Ports, said the shipment is part of a broader strategy to revitalize economic activity via seaports and ensure a steady flow of essential commodities. The unloading process is expected to take between six and eight days.
On October 6th, two additional vessels arrived at the port carrying a combined 70,000 tons of wheat for the Syrian Grain Establishment, underscoring the government’s push to secure strategic food reserves amid ongoing supply challenges.
