An Iranian MP referred to the decrease of flour rations for each person from 9 kilograms to 6 kilograms across the country and said, “In small cities and tribal villages most of the people’s food is only bread.”
“Wasn’t it better to make the price of state flour stand at 450,000 rials instead of rationing flour? This way the excess of flour in large cities like Tehran would be transferred to small cities and villages, and to have the money pouring into traders pockets be deposited into the government’s account,” he said in the Majlis (parliament) on Tuesday, April 15th.
