Malkhaz Dolidze, chairperson of the Union of Bread Producers of Georgia, said that the price of bread would rise in the republic. It is predicted that the growth will be 0.2 lari from May this year.
It is specified that the increase in the cost of bakery products is associated with the imposition of anti-Russian sanctions, because the country is the main exporter of wheat to Georgia.
"According to our calculations, we should expect an increase in the price within 0.2 lari", Dolidze said, noting that the increase in the bread price is associated with the flour price increase.
