Tourist Bread Prices to Rise Again in September
The head of the Bakery Division expects tourist bread prices to rise in September 2026 due to a 12% increase in electricity prices, which will lead to higher production costs. Additionally, the spike in flour prices, which have increased from 18,000 to 20,000 Egyptian pounds per ton as a result of rising global wheat prices, has caused a noticeable increase in bread prices, with the price of a loaf recently rising by about 25 piastres. He confirmed that bread prices are not uniform and vary by region due to factors such as rents, wages, and transportation. He called for regulating bread prices through a supervisory mechanism to stabilize the market, emphasizing that the increase was driven by higher production costs and not by excluding citizens from the subsidy system.
