With the current crisis and precarious economic situation, bakery production including bread will come to an end in the next two or three days, All Ceylon Bakery Owners’ Association (ACBOA) President N.K. Jayawardena said.

He said due to the prevalent fuel crisis and with the shortage and price increase of all ingredients.

Currently, 50% of the bakery's production has stopped.

The remainder too will grind to a halt very soon.

As the responsible member, I mentioned earlier that the bakery industry is facing a serious threat and would collapse due to the prevalent fuel crisis.

We informed the Power and Energy Minister about this fuel crisis. But no response from the minister yet.

Bakery production also falls under essential service category. But nothing has been done to salvage the bakery industry so far, he lamented. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

Why do we need bread which needs imported wheat, when we should be eating locally produced rice and Palmyra tubers ?
