They will grow the bread in 20 grams and make 10 lire.

The bread walk, which took place before the elections, is scheduled to take effect in the coming days. The president of the Union of Bread Producers, Cihan Kolivar, who said that the bakers started working on the rate of increase, stated that the sector wants to increase the bread sold by 6 TL from the first week of June. Explaining that there are no coins, especially 1 TL, on the market, Kolivar pointed out that the price of bread could be 10 TL both to get rid of this problem and to make the postponed walk.

Saying that the worker increases will also increase costs in July, Kolivar said the baker doesn’t want to wait any longer. Stating that 240 grams of bread is sold for 6 TL, and that bread that is sold for 10 TL may be 260 grams, Kolivar stated that the capacity of bakeries in Istanbul has decreased.

Stating that 240 grams of bread sells for 6 TL and 200 grams of bread for 5 TL in 35 districts of Istanbul, Kolivar said, “There should be a standard in terms of weight now. We need to bring the price difference from one county to another. Because the rent and other costs of each district are different. The government started from scratch, so let’s start from scratch. Let’s reduce costs. We are also considering removing the cars from service. If we take wheelbarrows from bakeries to grocery stores in the neighborhood, we will save at least 30,000 TL. That the market chains sell industrial bread. Don’t sell these loaves. Citizens should not eat expensive bread. This is the only way you can eat cheap bread,” he said.

UNFAIR COMPETITION

Emphasizing that they want to reduce costs as bakers, Kolivar noted that unlicensed bakeries create unfair competition and registered bakeries are negatively affected.
