The Egyptian cabinet approved an additional incentive, during its meeting Wednesday, chaired by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, to supply wheat from farmers for the 2023 season, bringing the price of wheat to EGP 1,500 per ardeb of 23.5 carats.
Nader Saad, a spokesperson of the Egyptian cabinet, said Wednesday's decision aims to support Egyptian farmers, encourage the expansion of strategic crop cultivation, and reduce the import bill.
