Harare (New Ziana)-The price of bread has gone up to ZW$44 per loaf from around ZW$35 due to the rising cost of production, the National Bakers Association of Zimbabwe has said.
“The cost drivers have also moved. You find that the flour price has moved, sugar has moved, other raw materials have moved so all the cost drivers that contribute to the cost of bread have moved. So effectively for our members to remain afloat, the price of bread had to go up,” said NBAZ president Dennis Walahe.
The increase in the price of bread is despite the fact that the government issued Statutory Instrument (SI) 119 of 2020 which allowed the duty free importation of maize meal and wheat flour for a period of six months to November this year.
