What the sources establish
SANA attributes the new national valuation and harvest projection to Agriculture Ministry official Hatem Majar. They are estimates. The import and export committee is the source of the suspension dates, which Al Jazeera Arabic covered separately. SANA’s Tartous interviews differ on prices. The reports give no national measure of price effects or evidence of renewed export access. The map retains SANA’s November 4 publication minute and the regional marker for the original Latakia and western Idlib reporting.
