President of the Bakers' Association of Peru (SPP), Pius Pantoja, said the bakers restructured their prices and many of them had to update the rise. Although Pantoja deflected talk of a rise in the price, he said yes restructuring costs were "some business" after the increase took place in December amid the international rise of various commodities, adding to the food basket of Peruvians.
According to the leader, the bread rose from S /. 0.15 to S /. 0.20 and S /. 0.25 per unit from the beginning of the year.
Pantoja said that "from January, February and March, some bakers narrowed their products to avoid losses. Now that you can not shrink more, had to re-gain the weight and hence the price. "
The baker said the final price hike the bread was inevitable after the increase in major inputs (sugar, flour, butter).
Pantoja rising to 5% in the bread that the INEI said is "very low" compared with other foods.
"The bag (50 kg) of domestic flour costs S /. 115, S/.95 imported. "I can not be forced to sell a bread made with national product at a price lower because it is a fallacy," he said noting that if the public agrees to pay more expensive is because the bread is of higher quality and taste.
