Is the Supply Ministry looking to liberalize wheat bran in a similar manner to flour? After lifting subsidies from flour last month, the Supply Ministry appears to be attempting a similar move with wheat bran extracted from the production of subsidized bread, albeit in a more tempered manner. It issued regulations on Tuesday which would include forming a committee to determine the price of the wheat bran on a monthly basis. August’s prices are currently being looked at and will be announced next week, a spokesperson said. To sweeten the transition, a 10% commission per tonne will be offered to millers in exchange for storing and marketing the bran. The new codes also come with a string of harsher penalties of up to five years in prison for any violations of the rules regulating commodities tied to the state’s subsidy system.
