Minister assures there will be no increase in prices for bread and biscuits
By Priya NauthMINISTER of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Mr. Manniram Prashad, has expressed disappointment with National Milling Company Limited (NAMILCO) flour prices and has assured that there will be no increases as indicated by the Association of Bakers.
At a press conference yesterday at his ministry on South Road, Georgetown, Prashad reassured the public that there will be no price increase as indicated in a press release issued by the Association of Bakers Tuesday.
A release from the association announced that it was introducing new prices for bread and biscuits because the price of flour has reverted to the pre-subsidiary levels which are approximately 22 per cent higher than the subsidized price.
“In keeping with our civic and social responsibility, yet mindful of our very survival as viable business entities, a meeting was held with the Management of the National Milling Company (NAMILCO) and we succeeded in obtaining some further reduction in the price of flour,” the Association had said.
However, Minister Prashad said, “We heard an organisation calling themselves the Association of Bakers announced a 22 per cent increase…there is no organised association, it is just a few people lobbying and a few bakers come together and issued this press release.”
