Using non-causal prediction models that include specific and probabilistic models using data from FAO. These results indicate that the average volume of grains imports reached 2545000 tons during the same period. The expenditure on cereal crops  imports, including (wheat , barley , rice , corn) ranked (0.40 - 0.14 - 0.12 - 0.24) of the average total expenditure during the study period. The results of demand prediction on the total cereal crops imports during the period (2017– 2025) ranging from 3367000 tons in 2017 to 4463000 tons in 2025.
