Bread prices will definitely be increased by Rs. 2-3 in the coming week, All Ceylon Bakery Owners' Association Chairman N.K. Jayewardena said.

Chairman Jayewardena added that the exact price and date of the increase will be decided after a meeting on Monday.

The bread price increase is in light of the flour price increase by Rs 8.50 from mid night tonight. (SR)

Thos who wrecklessly scream in bolgs should think of what they say.
Eg.. would you know how much a loaf of bread in a country who doenst produce wheat ? Have you compared that with the price is in Sri Lanka ? Have you been to India and seen how many people eat wheat bread ? Have you checked the price of rice in rice producing country. Then compare and make some comments that make sense..Otherwise this site would be place for idiots.

Smart Aleck Saturday, 02 October 2010 12:24 PM

If you believe some of the cabinet ministers, the increase in bread price will result in the country having lesser and lesser diabetic patients.

If a delegation of 130+ attended the US sessions or at least went there though only 5 delegates per country are allowed. The money wasted on this trip has to be found i some other way. So is any one surprised/ I dont think so.
By the way did they all get back from New York?

If the flour prices are subsidized by the state, there should be no reason for the prices to sky rocket. The reason for the price increase is also the increase in tax. When the price of wheat goes up, so those the amount to be paid as tax.

mata nikang hithuna Sunday, 03 October 2010 09:46 AM

Hmmm...anyways white bread is unhealthy. Get use to basmathi or Muthu Samba.

Ryan Sunday, 03 October 2010 10:12 AM

Pls further limit import of wheat flour

In a free and democratic country you should have the right to choose, not the government.

Adday Alwis, Obviously, the government has to recover the money spent on the recent Thamasha. Tighten your belts and you will get a slim figure.
