In the same context, the Lebanese Minister of Economy, “Raoul Naima,” said that there are 12 cranes operating at the port out of 16, and that they are now working to unload the ships and for the merchants to take their goods.
Naima added that the available wheat stocks suffice the local market’s needs for a period of 4 months, and that the flour stock is 32,000 tons to 110,000 tons, which will arrive in succession within two weeks.
