Egypt's state buyer to sell wheat to struggling commercial bread sector | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Egypt's supply ministry has said that it would allow mills producing 72% extraction wheat flour to buy wheat from the state grains buyer at a price of EGP 8700 ($442.52) per tonne, the ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.

Wheat flour extraction of 72% is used to make unsubsidized bread, pasta and other goods in Egypt.

The ministry will also sell flour to pasta factories operating within the state buyer's framework at EGP 10,000 per tonne. Both decisions will be implemented as of Oct. 15 and will be applicable for a month, the ministry added.
