  "account": "The Saudi Food Security Authority has distributed a second payment of SAR 197.8 million to local wheat farmers for the 2026 season. The payments were made to farmers who fulfilled their allocated quantities during the 1447/1448 AH (2026) agricultural season. The funds were processed through National Grain Supply Company (SABL) branches, following the closure of farmers' accounts on the Mahsooli electronic platform.\n\nIn total, SAR 197,835,538 was deposited into farmers' bank accounts, covering a net received quantity of 126,469 tons for 303 farmers. Since the beginning of the season, the authority has disbursed a cumulative total of SAR 397,230,622, benefiting 872 farmers with an overall quantity of 260,740 tons. The authority urges farmers who haven't yet closed their accounts to complete the process promptly to ensure the final payment can be deposited before the fiscal year's disbursement deadline.",
