CAIRO: Egypt's wheat supply is sufficient to last the country until April 7, the supplies minister told Reuters on Sunday.

Mohamed Abu Shadi said in a phone interview the government aimed to maintain six months worth of wheat stockpiles. Shadi said last month that the country's wheat supply was sufficient to last until March 5.
