If the price of wheat flour is reduced, a loaf of bread will cost 100 rupees!

The All Ceylon Bakery Owners Association has stated that if the price of a kilo of wheat flour is reduced by 25 rupees, a loaf of bread can be sold to consumers for 100 rupees.

Representatives of the All Ceylon Bakery Owners Association made this statement during a discussion held with the Minister of Trade, Commerce, Food Security and Cooperative Development Wasantha Samarasinghe the day before yesterday.

Despite the decline in the value of the dollar, a kilo of wheat flour has to be purchased for 190 rupees. Furthermore, a kilo of butter is sold for 900 rupees. Bakery owners have stated that bread consumption has decreased due to the increase in the price of bread.

Regarding these issues, steps will be taken to provide relief to bakery owners and discussions will be held with importers of wheat flour and butter, the Minister said.
