The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade has formed a committee to monitor the price of bread sold at non-governmental bakeries. The committee will convene on a monthly basis to track price fluctuations in raw materials and determine appropriate prices as well as monitor the bread being produced to ensure it meets regulations.
