Supply Ministry Maintains Bread Prices
The Ministry of Supply in Egypt has confirmed that there are no changes in the prices and weights of tourist bread, bread rolls (fino), and traditional bread. Prices have been fixed in accordance with the directives issued in March 2026. Tourist bread is sold at 2 Egyptian pounds for 80 grams, 2.5 pounds for 60 grams, and 1 pound for 40 grams. Fino bread is sold at 2 pounds for 50 grams, 2.5 pounds for 40 grams, and 1 pound for 30 grams. The ministry emphasized market regulation through strict oversight, having detected more than 3,000 violations, including weight deficiencies, which constitute commercial fraud and are punishable by imprisonment ranging from one to five years. Over 6,000 food inspectors are working across the country to ensure the availability of raw materials and maintain stable prices. The minister also confirmed that the proposal to reduce the weight of the loaf by 10 grams has been postponed. The market is being managed to increase supply and provide materials, with no intentions to change or interfere with the current prices or specifications of bread.
