Iran’s bread supply chain is in crisis, affecting farmers, bakers, and consumers. Government interference has led to rising prices and declining quality, with a recent 52% increase in Tehran alone. Farmers struggle with delayed payments and high production costs, while bakers face unsustainable state-set prices. This has resulted in reduced loaf sizes and shop closures, causing long queues for consumers. Despite extensive subsidies, mismanagement leaves little relief, worsening public dissatisfaction. The bread crisis reflects deeper economic and political dysfunction in Iran, raising concerns about accessibility and health, as bread becomes increasingly unaffordable and scarce for the populace.
