The Naanbai Association has warned of a potential hike in the prices of bread, naan, and paratha due to a recent rise in the cost of flour. The price of flour and fine white flour sacks has gone up by Rs300 to Rs500 in both wholesale and open markets.
The association has stated that if the flour rates are not brought down, the prices of these staple food items will be raised next week. In response to the situation, a Price Control Committee meeting has been scheduled to review the issue.
According to Shafiq Abbasi, the central president of the Naanbai Association, the cost of a 79kg sack of red flour has increased from Rs5,250 to Rs5,750. Once transport and handling expenses are added, the total cost to tandoors rises to Rs5,850.
Similarly, the price of a sack of fine white flour has climbed from Rs6,400 to Rs6,700.
