Egypt said Wednesday it raised the supply price of wheat it will buy from farmers from mid-April to mid-July to reach an upward of EGP 575 per ardeb (roughly 150 kg) depending on the quality of the crop, state news agency MENA quoted the agriculture ministry as saying.
The new prices of the wheat are divided into three categories: EGP 555 per ardeb for the lowest quality, followed by EGP 565 and EGP 575 for the finer qualities respectively.
This is the second time the country has increased the supply price for wheat in the past five months.
The wheat harvest season starts in May.
In November 2016, immediately after the country floated its currency and increased the price of subsidised fuel, the cabinet increased the prices of purchasing wheat from farmers from EGP 420 to EGP 450 per ardeb to support local producers

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
