Supply Ministry denies reducing flour allocations for subsidized bread bakeries

The Supply Ministry is not imposing an across-the-board reduction to the flour it supplies to subsidized bread bakeries, Ministry Spokesperson Mamdouh Ramadan tells Al Masry Al Youm. A ministry source had claimed on Monday that the ministry would cut down flour allocations to bakeries in urban areas and the countryside to 70% and 50% of their current levels, respectively.
