Bernie Sugrue: Baking Industry Association President on the price of bread rising 60%
from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB
Some reassurance a jump in bread prices isn't major as food price inflation rises sharply. Latest Stats NZ data shows the rate's risen from 4% a month ago to 4.6%. In the past year, the very cheapest loaf of white bread has gone up by almost 60%, and steak and chocolate more than 20%. Baking Industry Association President Bernie Sugrue told Ryan Bridge most loaves of bread haven't had price rises as much as this, despite increased costs for bakeries. He says 60% doesn't represent a lift in all bread prices, just that one particular loaf. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
