According to Khabaronline news agency, with the significant increase in the price of wheat consumed by the pasta industry and the change in the flour subsidy policy, this widely consumed food by households has faced a new wave of concern about the price.
IRNA wrote: According to the approval of the market regulation headquarters, the new price of pasta wheat has become the basis for the sale of this product by the Iranian State Trading Company since the beginning of November, based on which the price of each kilogram of pasta wheat has increased from 23,850 tomans to 60,000 tomans.
The State Trading Company of Iran is going to provide pasta wheat at a new rate to factories producing pasta, industrial bread, and large and semi-large breads.
Earlier, Mohammad Javad Karmi, the head of the flour and bread working group of the Tehran Chamber of Trades, announced the increase in the price of wheat and the elimination of type 6 flour in the distribution chain and said: The price of wheat has increased from 29,500 tomans to about 60,000 tomans, and including transportation costs, the final price of wheat for suppliers reaches about 80,000 tomans, which affects the finished price of flour.
Referring to the change in the flour subsidy system of some products, Kerami said: the flour related to industrial bread and pasta has been removed from the government subsidy and their supply is done at a free price.
