Food Supply Clarifies Bread Price Outlook
Ahmed Kamal, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade, confirmed that the ministry is monitoring the prices and weights of basic, tourist, and 'fino' bread to ensure bakeries adhere to official prices and avoid manipulation. He explained that the consumption of plain flour amounts to around 560,000 tons, with the price per ton rising from 17,000 to 21,000 Egyptian pounds, and that 70% of the increased cost of bread production is linked to flour and its ingredients. He also clarified that the subsidized local bread loaf price remains steady at 20 piastres, while the free bread loaf is sold at 2 Egyptian pounds and weighs 80 grams. Penalties for violations include imprisonment or license withdrawal, following the detection of over 3,000 violations among approximately 40,000 bakeries nationwide.
