Tropical cultivars have enabled wheat to be farmed in Ceará, Brazil, in spite of dry climate and scant water resources. The Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) partnered up with a private company to enable a faster-than-usual harvest with good yields. The experience could be replicated in Arab countries.

The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) expects a 3.1% bigger harvest in 2019, while the National Supply Company (Conab) sees volume going up 4.2% in the 2018/2019 crop-year.
