- The Iraqi government has started excluding from distribution lists for state food aid those considered well-off, according to government officials. <br> <br> “We are receiving data from all the government ministries on employees paid at least 1.5 million Iraqi dinars [US$1,300] a month,” Riadh Fakhir Al-Hashimi, head of the Trade Ministry’s Planning and Food Rationing Directorate, told IRIN. <br> <br> “So far we have received data regarding about 70,000 food rationing cards… That means the number of people excluded [from the distribution lists for state food aid] is about 120,000 nationwide so far,” Al-Hashimi said. <br> <br> In June 2009, the government said it would rationalize the state-run food aid system known as the Public Distribution System (PDS), which was set up in 1995 as part of the UN’s oil-for-food programme. More than half of Iraq's 29 million residents depend on it, according to the Trade Ministry. <br> <br> However, it has <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120405091345/http://www.irinnews.org/Report.aspx?ReportId=84447"><font color="#0000ff">been crumbling</font></a> since 2003 due to insecurity, poor management and corruption. <br> <br> The government is also working to track down higher earners in the private sector, the Trade Ministry’s Al-Hashimi said, acknowledging, however, that the process would take time. <br> <br> Those excluded now would be able to go back to receiving state food aid if their incomes fell below a certain level; and if a well-off person is head of the family then aid will be stopped to all family members, Al-Hashimi said. <br> <br> Abdul-Zahra Al-Hindawi, a Planning Ministry spokesman, said exclusion of the better off was not the only way of improving the system: The quantity and quality of food items and their distribution timeframe was also important. <br> <br> "I don’t think the exclusion will have a huge impact on the system as the number of all excluded people will not be that big in comparison to the population," said Adil Abdul-Muhsin Jabbar, a Baghdad-based economist. <br> <br> "I think the main challenges that must be tackled first are corruption and mismanagement." <br> <br> Monthly PDS parcels are supposed to contain rice (3kg per person); sugar (2kg per person); cooking oil (1.25kg or one litre per person); flour (9kg per person); milk for adults (250g per person); tea (200g per person); beans (250g per person); children's milk (1.8kg per child); soap (250g per person); detergents (500g per person); and tomato paste (500g per person. <br> <br> sm/at/cb <p> <strong> <span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ucReport_repTheme_ctl00_Label1">Theme (s)</span>: </strong><span id="Themes"> <a href="/web/20120405091345/http://www.irinnews.org/theme.aspx?theme=POL"> Aid Policy</a>, <a href="/web/20120405091345/http://www.irinnews.org/theme.aspx?theme=FOO"> Food Security</a>, </span> <p> <span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ucReport_Label2">[This report does not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations]</span></p> <div id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ucEmail_Panel1"> <div class="sidebar"> <div style="margin: 5px;
