Several areas of the capital of Sudan and other states are experiencing signs of crisis in the bread flour, amid fears that will lead to higher prices of bread along with a wave of expensive sweeper sweeping the markets of Sudan in these days at the time in which the Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir abolished the decision of the Finance Minister to raise subsidies on flour. The Deputy Chairman of the Federation of Chambers of Industry Adil Mirghani detected that the Ministry of Finance made the decision two weeks ago to raise the price of flour from(2800) to (4400) dollars per ton and reported by the Federation of Chamber of Industry in coordination with the Minister of Industry Abdul Wahab Osman to raise a memo to the President of the Republic explaining in it the implications of the dimensions of raising the price of flour and its impact on consumers. Mirghani indicated to stop the companies for a number of ships of Port Sudan, fear of fluctuating prices, and falling into losses, but he confirmed to retreat after the end of the problem, and revealed the commitment of (Siqa) and (Seen For Yields) companies to provide flour to the market need, but pointed out a problem that is said to be facing the Wheata Company related to finding some quality wheat that is needed for mixing.
And the country is experiencing a series of student and popular demonstrations, which broke out three weeks before the announcement of President Omar al-Bashir for austerity policy under which the government decided to raise subsidies on fuel and some basic commodities to cover the deficit in budget of about $ 2.4 billion.
