Supply Ministry Clarifies on Bread Price Trends
The Ministry of Supply does not anticipate an increase in the prices of free and tourism bread in the upcoming period, as it monitors the markets and works to stabilize prices and weights. The ministry's spokesperson explained that the price of a ton of flour has increased from approximately 17,000 to 21,000 pounds, and that about 70% of bread production costs are related to input supplies. The ministry continues to review cost components and reaffirms its commitment to maintaining the subsidized bread loaf price at 20 piastres, with penalties for violators that include imprisonment or license withdrawal.
