Ministry of Supply to Announce Bread Production Cost
The Minister of Supply and Internal Trade in Egypt issued a ministerial directive that includes defining the manufacturing cost of a subsidized traditional bread (baladi bread) at bakeries, whether they operate on diesel or natural gas. The directive also covers the cost of bread produced by army, police, and other entities that sell to citizens through smart ration cards. The decision stipulates that citizens will continue to pay a share of 20 piastres per loaf, while the General Authority for Supply Commodities will bear the remaining manufacturing costs. It specifies the manufacturing costs for each type of bread according to the fuel used. For example, the manufacturing costs for bread made with diesel range between 36.95 and 43.08 piastres, while with natural gas, they range between 20.03 and 21.35 piastres, with citizens paying 20 piastres per loaf regardless. The implementation of the directive begins on August 18, 2026, aiming to regulate the cost of bread production and control its subsidized price.
