Price of one kilogram of wheat flour has been increased by Rs. 8.50 with effect from midnight today, sources said. The new price of one kilogram of wheat flour will be Rs. 98.50
Main share holders Prima and Serendib Flour Mills both raised their prices owing to severe losses incurred by the companies after fuel prices and electricity prices were increased in February this year.
Serendib Flour Mills CEO Sathak Abdul Kadar said that after prices were increased the exorbitant electricity tariffs and transport charges cost the company a massive loss of Rs 3.2 million each day.
Kadar said the exchange rate which rose dramatically from Rs.112 to Rs.134 by about 20% further cost severe losses. “We were bleeding. We suffered a heavy loss. The price increase was necessary,” he said.
Bread and other baked goods are also expected to shoot up in price due to the wheat flour increase, officials said. (OJ)

Put the blame on the exchange rate. Can we still live on a Rs:7,500 income for a family of three.

It is good.We should give local products first priority. We do not need American flour here. It is good decision by government.

Dambula incidence was a good camouflage for this price increase. With more protest and hartals, watch the blind side for many more. Sympathies to those who are gullible.
shace-UK Thursday, 26 April 2012 07:45 PM
This is crazy!!! 1.5 Kg flour in UK is 52 pence which means 1KG is only 70 Rupees.

When our Dana Rina wizard, came up with another great discovery that 350 string hoppers can be made from 1 kg of flour, we knew something is in the air. We will soon be able to hear a number of experts telling us the advantages of using rice flour and the disadvantages of eating bread made of wheat flour.
