Egypt will begin a pilot cash-support program for ration goods in Beheira Governorate on January 1, 2027, to test the system before rolling it out nationwide. The government has not announced how much each beneficiary will receive. Some 63 million people receive ration support, and allocations for bread and food commodities total about EGP 178.3 billion in the 2026–2027 budget. An economist estimates that switching to cash support could reduce waste, which is estimated at around 30 percent. Supporters say the new system could help ensure aid reaches those who need it and give households greater flexibility, while stressing the need to regulate markets and commodity prices to protect low-income groups.
