Azadlig writes about the rise in price of bread. Experts speculate about it. On July 31 the sort of bread called Factory was sold for 50 kopecks, while previously the price was 40 kopecks.
The expert Vahid Maharramov said the increase in the price of bread is not associated with the increase in grain prices as the world market price of grain decreased by 30%.
The expert believes the rise in price is due to the increase in electricity prices and other production costs of the bakeries.
