Zimbabwe: Bread prices won't be going up

Current bread prices of 90c-$1.00 will remain the same despite soaring costs of flour. Consumers are assured there won't be changes by the Grain Marketing Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) national chairperson Tafadzwa Musara.

(GMAZ) & (NBAZ), millers and bakers associations are jointly in negotiations with central bank (RBZ) for an immediate availing of foreign currency to settle all outstanding wheat import payments, but the industry personnel are confident they will be settled in the next few days.

In his statement Mr. Musara said, "This, we are confident, will be settled in the next few days."

"Consequently, the milling industry wishes to advise that supply of flour, and by extension supply of bread, will remain more than adequate and consumers must not be worried."

"Secondly, prices will not go up on the account of costs of flour." He said.
