The price of a 450g loaf of bread will increase by Rs. 30 from midnight today (19), said the All Ceylon Bakery Owners Association.
President of the Union N.K. Jayawardena said that the price of bread had to be increased given that the two companies that import wheat flour to Sri Lanka have increased the price of flour.
Following the last price revision on bread, an average loaf of bread was sold for Rs. 110 – 120.
Accordingly, a loaf of bread will be sold for prices ranging from Rs. 140 – 150 with the latest revision.
