The price of bread in Mozambique will go back to where it was last week, the government announced 8 Septemebr, after 13 people died and 200were injured in riots to protest the government price hikes. The price of bread returns to 5 meticais, about $0.14. The Planning Minister also announced that the rise in the price of water would be revoked.

Mozambique imports 98 percent of the wheat used to make bread. The international price of wheat has soared in recent months due to adverse conditions in Russia and Pakistan. The government hopes to use other, locally produced, types of flour to make bread.
