He emphasized the need for federal financial support to overcome obstacles and stabilize production.
The National Coordinator for the Wheat Production Project, Dr. Amal Mohamed Al-Hassan, noted that field visits revealed issues, including the militia targeting of the Merowe Switching Station, but affirmed that coordinated efforts would address these challenges.
