Price of bread remains in uncertainty

In some bakeries the common bread is sold at $ 0.15.

Agriculture Minister, Javier Ponce, said that in Guayaquil it will not be approved an increase in the price of bread, but despite his claim, in bakeries the reality is different, since in some, the common bread is sold at $ 0.15.

The representatives of the National Federation of Bakers (FENAPAN for its Spanish acronym) asked the government to allow a price increase of common bread from $ 0.12 to $ 0.17, and then proposed an intermediate price of $ 0.15, but the government decided to keep it at $ 0.12.

Bakers hope that today, an official statement on the price of bread, is set; otherwise they will start charging $ 0.15 for common bread. (MZ)
