Under the directives and follow-up of Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz, Governor of Riyadh Region, the General Establishment for Grain Mills and Flour Silos conducted a field survey to derive the reasons after the increase of prices of flour, attributing it to the use of flour as fodder by livestock herders. In a statement to the Saudi Press Agency, the General Establishment said the amount of flour exported in 2007 amounted to more than 73,000 tons.
