FEI’s wants the Supply Ministry to use private sector silos for wheat storage

The Federation of Egyptian Industries’ grains division has submitted a request to the Supply Ministry to use private sector silos to store the wheat used to produce subsidized bread loaves, rather than storing the wheat in dirt silos that expose the crop to spoilage, Al Shorouk reports. According to the division, private sector companies have constructed silos for the government’s use, but have remained unoccupied. The ministry had green-lit the development of 300 shounas as part of the second phase of Blumberg Grain’s shouna project last year.
