As per Minister Basil We have surplus rice, also there are very high technology to make quality bread out of rice floor, why the goverment can not motivate such project to provide lowe cost bread to the nation- or rather than import floor- import weat seeds for very low coast and srat up some mills to make floor I had seen many mills in middle east - today price of floor in KSA- is SR 1.20 = SLR 40 , SOME TIME LESS DURING RAMADAN AND OTHER OCCASIONS, THIS IS POSSIBLE IN UAE , KSA AND QATAR WE SEE, SO WHT SRI LANKA CAN NOT DO SUCH MOVE?? STILL WE TRYING TO PUT LOAD ON PUBLIC WITHOUT ANY FEASIBILTY IN OUR HAND.

Had a chat with my baker and he feels that an increase will kill the bakery business. Soon we will not have bread?

It's high time for locals to start eating cake- like wise the habit in temple trees.

When I was young, a 1 pound loaf of bread was only 25 cents. Now, just the INCREASE in price of one is 3 Rupees!

bread is a high glycemic food like white rice so better to avoid to control diabetic which is already at epidemic level

In the coming year all the development projects in Hambantota –the harbour, the airport, the crickets grounds, the movie site, the freeway and what ever else is built over there should start to pump big revenue in to the country, then who needs bread we all can eat cake.
