The Syrian Grain Establishment has signed an investment contract with Faz Company for Development and Project Management, under which three new mills will be built in Saraqib, Al-Balikh and Manbij, and six existing mills rehabilitated in several Syrian governorates, with a total production capacity of 4,400 tonnes per day.
The project aims to raise the country’s flour production capacity, improve operating efficiency in the milling sector, and support the food-supply infrastructure after years of neglect and damage to facilities during the war. The works include building the new mills and upgrading production lines and equipment in the existing mills, raising production quality and improving the sector’s performance as a whole.
From a memorandum of understanding to an investment contract
The signing comes about six months after the Syrian Grain Establishment signed a memorandum of understanding with Faz Investment on 12 May 2026, to launch a long-term partnership to develop and operate the Establishment’s mills across the governorates. In a media briefing in mid-October, the Ministry had outlined the mills plan, including building modern mills in Saraqib, Al-Raqqa and Manbij, and rehabilitating existing mills in Homs, Daraa, Damascus and Aleppo.
The signed contract now turns that plan from a framework of understanding into an executive commitment, at a time when silo, mill and bakery expansions are accelerating within a government plan to strengthen food security and develop the food-supply infrastructure across Syria.
Impact on food security
The milling sector is a central link in the bread production chain, on which bakeries depend for a regular supply of flour. Raising production capacity to 4,400 tonnes per day, alongside rehabilitating damaged mills, means a greater ability to meet demand and less reliance on temporary storage and milling solutions.
The investment value of the contract and the timetable for starting and completing the works have not yet been announced. These details are expected to be revealed as implementation begins, and the magazine will follow them in its upcoming coverage.
