It seems that the bitter crisis of bread Egypt suffered from several months ago will arise again in the 6th of October and Dakahlia governorates. In al-Rahawi village, Mansheyat al-Qanater district, there have been hand-to-hand clash between hundreds of people before a bakery's retail outlet. Some people have attributed the crisis to the stat's announcement that it will liberate the flour's sale price to reduce the leakage, indicating that the bakery owners are afraid of losing their quotas and reject the idea of establishing units for producing bread. People lined up in bread queues for more than three hours in Al-Galaa district, Dakahlia without getting bread. A number of bakery owners threatened to stop production due to the failure of their recent meeting with the Minister of Social Solidarity who failed to solve the problem of the disbursement of the quality incentive for January 2008.
The bakery owners said the "random" reports people submit against bakeries threaten to close bakeries and send their owners to the prison. An official source with the Dakahlia Directorate of Supply the Ministry of Social Solidarity's contract with the bakery owners will be amended and there will be new contracts as of next March.
