By Own Correspondent- The Government will this week meet with bakers and millers to discuss the recent increase in bread prices which it feels is unfair and unjustified.

The development aims at mapping the way forward to come up with an affordable price for consumers.

Deputy Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Water, Climate and Rural Resettlement Vangelis Haritatos confirmed the development recently.

He said Government will be meeting bakers this coming week to solve the issue of bread price which is now beyond the reach of many Zimbabweans.

Said Haritatos:

“As Government we believe in engagement and so in conjunction with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce we intend to meet with the representatives of the National Association Bakers of Zimbabwe to bring in their bakers so that we can talk openly to see why they had to increase their price and what the Government can do to reduce the price.”-StateMedia
