The All Island Bakery Owners Association said that it is not possible to reduce the prices of bakery products including bread even though the price of wheat flour has gone down.
Its President N. K. Jayawardena said that since the prices of bakery products were reduced a few weeks ago, it is not possible to reduce the prices once again.
Prima Ceylon (Pvt) Limited reduced the price of a kilogram of all wheat flour varieties by Rs.10 effective from yesterday (18). Accordingly, the wholesale price of a kilogram of wheat flour used for bakery production was reduced to Rs.200.
