New bread supply decision takes effect
The Egyptian Minister of Supply and Internal Trade issued a new directive setting the manufacturing cost of the subsidized local bread loaf, aimed at regulating the support process and reducing manipulation. The directive clarifies that the price of a loaf for citizens remains at 20 piastres, while the General Authority for Supply Commodities bears the remaining manufacturing cost, which varies depending on the type of bread and the fuel used (diesel or natural gas). The cost of producing a loaf using diesel ranges between 36.95 and 43.08 piastres, while with natural gas it decreases to approximately 20.03 to 21.35 piastres, including bakery workers' insurance contributions. Implementation of the directive began today, Tuesday, August 18, 2026, and it applies to all relevant parties, with any previous provisions conflicting with it being repealed.
