Bakers struggle to raise the price of common bread

QUITO, Ecuador

Today, since 10:00, bakers of several provinces will concentrate on the headquarters of the Coordinator Ministry of Production to insist on the price increase of common bread.

Despite the persistent  claim, the regime has officially confirmed that the cost stays at $ 0.12 since the reasons are not good enough to justify a price increase.

The National Federation of Bakers (FENAPAN for its Spanish acronym) also emphasized on the domestic gas subsidy, according to Decree 1289 of the Constitution, which has not yet become effective.

Yesterday, the Minister of Industry and Productivity, Veronica Sion, referred to the gas subsidy as “an element that is still being analyzed, but until that is completed, the price of common bread remains at $ 0.12“. (MZ)
