bakeries cover the need for the next 12 months, said Abdul Ilah Al-Hamawi,
president of the
Bakery Owners Association, according to Al-Rai daily.

He said a circulated paper related to determining
the amounts of flour allocated for bakeries is an organizational procedure to
control the wheat market and protect the Kingdom’s total stock of wheat.
Hamawi said Tuesday that there is “no intention to
raise the prices of bakery products.”
He pointed out that the price of bread is determined
by the government and will not be affected, and that bakery owners agreed not
to increase the prices of products, despite the high production costs
represented in providing employment.
Hamawi blamed the
Russian-Ukrainian crisis for raising the
demand for wheat by up to three times globally. But he noted that the Jordanian
government swiftly looked for alternatives, purchasing wheat from Romania and
India to secure the domestic stocks for a period that exceeds 12 months.
