Food Dept Head: Nutrition card balance around 1,300 pounds
The article discusses the Egyptian government's plan to improve the commodity subsidy system. It confirms that 12 essential basic goods are available in the markets, with presidential directives to establish distribution outlets in every center as an initial phase, within the "Carry On" system. The initiative includes providing goods at fixed prices, such as sugar (25 pounds per kilogram), rice, and oil, with plans to expand the list of basic items to reach a total of 30. There is also a move toward transitioning to conditional cash support, where a specific amount—approximately 325 pounds—is disbursed to each individual from the ration card balance. This allows citizens to purchase goods or direct the amount to buy their needs directly. The goal of this approach is to ensure sufficient quantities of supplies, reduce price disparities, and achieve market balance through "Carry On" outlets that will offer household essentials at fixed prices. Currently, there are over 40,000 existing outlets across all governorates.
