The Ministry of Economy has officially set the price of a new package of bread at 883 grams, from the bakery to the consumer at 4,000 Lebanese pounds, and from the store to the consumer at 4,250 Lebanese pounds.

This decision came on Saturday after the rise of the global wheat prices, and based on the manufacturing, distribution, and sales cost, as well as in view of the high exchange rate of the USD against the LBP.

The price and weight of Lebanese “white” bread has become as follows:

From the bakery to the consumer: a large size bundle, with a weight of not less than 883 grams, at a price of 4000 L.L. max.

A medium-sized bundle, with a weight of not less than 408 grams, at a price of 2750 LBP. max.
