Syria's Trade Minister said Thursday that a new mechanism for bread distribution to be implemented in June which will be based on the monthly quota instead of the daily rations.
The new mechanism guarantees the monthly quota for each family that it receives intermittently, in a way that guarantees its full balance according to the number of family members, said Talal al-Barazi.
The purpose of this organizational process is to reduce congestion on the ovens in addition to determining the spatial distribution to obtain the bread, he added.
The minister of Internal trade and consumer protection pointed out that currently the sale of bread is being implemented through accredited people in addition to selling through designated outlets in bakeries.
The trade ministry is currently seeking to reach the highest percentage of sales of bread through the accredited by expanding their numbers, according the al-Barazi.
