Flour cost cuts bread size in Tripoli
The rise in flour prices in Tripoli has led to a decrease in the size of the bread loaf, with some bakeries now selling three loaves for one dinar instead of four. This is due to increased production costs, which are worsened by the electricity crisis and fuel shortages. The price of a hundredweight of flour has risen from around 190 dinars in January to about 275 dinars in July, prompting bakeries to reduce production or shut down altogether. Officials are calling for the establishment of a Grain Commission to manage and secure a strategic stockpile of imported grains to ensure price stability and supply of flour, while citizens express their frustration over the soaring bread prices and shrinking loaf portions. This situation further strains households amid ongoing rises in the prices of essential goods.
