Bakeries Seek Price Hike for Controlled Bread Amid Flour Cost Surge
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Israeli bakeries plan to ask the Economy Ministry to raise prices for government-controlled bread due to a 10%-15% increase in flour costs. The price hikes are driven by the Russia-Ukraine war's impact on wheat supply and higher import expenses. Manufacturers of other baked goods will also likely increase prices. The rising cost of flour is expected to affect consumers even if they buy flour for home baking.
