Farai Dziva|The price of bread has gone up from $18 to $21 for a standard loaf.

Commenting on the new price National Bakers Association of Zimbabwe president, Dennis Wallah, said flour was not subsidised hence market forces were at play.

“The price of bread has been stable from November to date. We don’t have subsidised flour available hence the market forces are now at play.”

However Consumer Rights Association spokesperson, Effie Ncube, quoted by Chronicle, said:

The latest hike in the price of bread means that most families are now food insecure as they can no longer afford basic foodstuffs.”
