Supply Ministry: 6-Month Stock of Key Goods
The Egyptian Ministry of Supply affirms that the strategic reserve of basic commodities is sufficient for six months, including oil, sugar, rice, wheat, and meat. This contributes to market stability and ensures the needs of citizens are met. The ministry also indicated that the strategic stockpiles range from 4.4 million tons of wheat and include 85 silos, with ongoing monitoring of commodity availability and measures to address violations in bakeries. Since March 2026, more than a thousand violations have been recorded, with penalties including imprisonment and fines. The spokesperson also confirmed that bread and Fino prices remain stable in line with directives, with daily inspections to ensure compliance with weight and price standards. Additionally, Egypt has expanded its wheat import sources to over 20 countries, moving beyond reliance solely on Russia and Ukraine.
