Moreover, ttre planted 4re84 last year and the le'lel of supporting prices as perC8ntage of the world prices' I are mportanl constraint that affecting the planted areas this year.
Finally, the study expecting increasing In the tolal wheat production by about 0.23% for the period (2003·2010) also, there Is a differenC8S change between the actual and targeted level of consumption of nour by about 6% for the period (1974· 1998).
