Price of bread may increase

The price of importing wheat into Georgia has increased in Georgia. At the beginning of the year, Russian and Kazakh wheat cost $220-230 USD per tonne; today the price is $280-300, according to Executive Director of the Grain Association, Levan Silagadze.

If this trend continues, the price of bread may rise. A bag of flour is currently 33 GEL, but may increase to 35-37 GEL, impacting the price.

Thanks to drought in exporting countries, the price of wheat has been increasing steadily, by 18% this year alone.
