Some ovens in Pristina change the price of bread

A statement by the chairman of the Association of Kosovo Bills, Bashkim Zamenu, made public a few days ago that the current <x0 mic of bread may fall by day as it is warning of a decrease in the flour price”, as seen today in the provisions of some capital ovens, has had its effect.

Some furnaces in Pristina, in the last two or three days, have lowered the price of standard bread -- the 500 grams -- that is most consumed by Kosovars. Now, after a visit by dozens of decomposing furnaces by Economic Bulletin reporter, it is noted that in half of the contacted furnaces the price of standard bread has dropped from 50 to 40 cents. As stated, though, not all oveners have reduced the price of bread. Prices have been lowered in ovens placed mainly in slightly more periphery and less frequented by consumers, while furnaces that their activities exercise closer to the centre of the capital and those that are near Pristina schools still keep prices unchanged.

It must be said that the price of bread in Kosovo, of that standard, of 500 grams, which is most consumed and most popular in Kosovo families, which has time, a year and more, which sells 50 and 60 cents, depending on the furnaces and the city, is very expensive and beyond the purchasing power of Kosovars in general, and the majority poor in particular.

On the basis of more detailed tests and accounts, the price of bread proves to be too high even if compared with the price raised by the reproductive material needed to produce a bread.

The chairman of the Mulity Association, Bashkim Zejnullahu, had said days earlier for media that “has enough amount of wheat”.

“expects to cut flour prices. We have enough wheat and flour, this amount doesn't know if it's enough for the next year depends on the global situation that happens, but we're actually good at the flour situation”, he said on that case.

In other words, in vain, oveners complain that they are barely covering their businesses ' expenses because, they say, of the high price increase of flour, electricity, wood, rent, and some of the most expensive materials needed to make a market bread. They, their oveners and businesses in our country continue to earn a lot, increase their finances, and continue to complain about the small bread-making margin they sell. Their numerous incidents have always been used as pretexts for rising prices, ultimately not standard bread, but other products from flour, especially baked products, the most popular of students in capital schools.

Simply oveners, the absolute majority of them, and especially those with their businesses (forks) established and operating around schools, have abundant demand for offerings, as well as abundant for the variety and many, but all in small volume and weight. They sell a lot, and at the same time, there's also a lot of money in the trade in mature prices at stratosphere and raised daily to no small percentage.

Now, at present, a maturity (<x0).8x1> that in no way weighs more than 100 grams, some of the capital bakers trade 40 cents, or approximately the size of a standard bread (500 grams), while only a few days ago sold the same product exactly 30 cents. So it is with other matures. Students, on the other hand, continue to fill oven spaces and wait in line daily and approximately the same route. After all, students do not have many solutions to provide the needed amount during school. They want to eat, and they are forced to pay expensive prices very often.

In view of all these facts, it is fitting that other products produced from flour, such as the first main subject, be reduced, as well as standard bread, which have begun to market by 10 cents and more.

“We have sufficient amounts of wheat and flour”, Union Zeinullahu said publicly. Therefore, why does Kosovo have the price of bread and other dishes from flour, so expensive. In any case, the initiative of some exhumers to lower the price of standard bread from 50 to 40 cents is welcome for consumers and should be implemented by other oveners as such. /Economic Bouletin
