On the Sofia Commodity Exchange, the price per ton of wheat fell from BGN 330 to BGN 270 without VAT. However, the prices of bread remain unchanged and the most popular Dobrogea is still sold for BGN 1 in the retail network.
However, the industry says that in larger cities there is a slight reduction in the price of bread. But this trend has not reached Northwestern Bulgaria, where the subsistence is at the old prices.
Dimitar Bakalov, who has been working in the field of bread and bakery production for 30 years, says that the mass Dobrudja can now be found at prices of 80 stotinki in some stores.
These small changes, which are a penny or two in the price of wheat, a penny or two in the price of electricity or somewhere else - they can not affect the price of bread. The price of flour must fall sharply in order to lower the price of bread, the expert was quoted as saying by NoviniBg.
He also clarified that once the price of the stock exchanges has fallen, it does not necessarily mean that the grain for flour is also at lower prices.
If the wheat on the stock exchanges is 15% cheaper, then the reduction for the representatives of the branch is about 3%, because in the production of bread other factors are taken into account, not only the price of the wheat.
Mariana Kukusheva from the National Branch Union of Bakers and Confectioners says that the bread we buy is sold at a delivery price.
This means that if the producer offers bread for 40 stotinki to traders, consumers will buy it for 70 stotinki, because the delivery price and VAT will be included in it.
The small bakeries are adamant that they will not reduce the prices of bread and bakery products, because they calculate their labor in the production of the final product, as well as the fact that they rely only on quality raw materials.

The price of bread will not rise, even if the planned increase in the price of electricity takes place, assures Mariana Kukusheva from the National Branch Union of Bakers and Confectioners.
