What is the reason behind this?

There are several important reasons behind this sudden and record rise in bread prices. According to reports, the main reason for this is the increased cost of raw plastic materials, particularly ‘plastic powder’, used for packaging bread. This plastic powder is widely imported into India; However, the recent depreciation of the Indian Rupee in the international market has made importing this raw material very expensive. Moreover, the increase in petrol and diesel prices in the past few days has also increased the freight cost significantly. The cost of production for bread manufacturers has increased dramatically as a result of the combined effect of both increased transportation costs and rising costs of preservative chemicals used in bread production; And now this increased cost is being passed on to the consumer.

Mainly, common working class, daily office goers, laborers and students consume foods like vadapav, missalpav, pavbhaji and sandwich almost daily. As a result, not only the prices of these particular foods will increase, but also the cost of all types of food prepared using bread. This will have a direct impact on the daily living conditions and expenses of the common citizens. Prices of various varieties like sandwich bread, wheat bread and multigrain bread have also been hiked by up to Rs 5 per ladi. In some areas, the price of ‘brown bread’ has increased from Rs 45 to Rs 50.

Bakery owner worried

According to bakery owners, factors such as cost of plastic packaging, transportation costs, rising prices of imported raw materials and depreciation of the rupee have increased the cost of production. Moreover, the recent rise in milk prices has put further upward pressure on food prices. Millions of people in Mumbai eat vada pav and other dishes made from pav every day. Hence, consumers are worried that the increased price of pava will further burden the pockets of common Mumbaikars.
