The Ministry of Finance suggested raising the price of wheat for local farmers to EGP 500 per ardeb, which equals 150 kg for EGP 420, in a statement on its website on Tuesday. |
One feddan produces 18 ardeb of wheat in Egypt, according to the Ministry of Agriculture. |
It was fortunate that the Negus had posted on his left wing the troops that had learnt our mode of fighting at ardeb. |
Egypt raised the price it will pay local farmers for their wheat next season to LE 380 per ardeb from LE 350 during the last season to encourage planting. |
The monthly pay of the mulazemin consists of half a Dervish dollar, and, every fortnight, one-eighth of an ardeb of dhurra. |
In Dongola and Berber the price of dhurra rose to one hundred dollars an ardeb. |
