In Kırşehir, with the decision of the tradesmen's chambers, the price of bread rose from 12 TL to 15 TL. While bakers, saying that the costs of flour, yeast, and labor had increased, found the increase reasonable but insufficient, citizens expressed that the new price strained their budgets.
With the increase made to bread prices in Kırşehir, the price of bread sold for 12 TL rose to 15 TL. While bakers found the increase appropriate but insufficient in the face of rising input costs, citizens stated that the price increase strained their budgets.
In Kırşehir, after the tradesmen's chambers updated bread prices from 12 TL to 15 TL, bakers and citizens evaluated the new prices. Bakery operator Abdurrahman Çevik drew attention to the increase in flour, yeast, and labor costs, arguing that the 15 TL bread price was normal.
EVEN THE INCREASE REMAINED BELOW COST
Bakery operator Abdurrahman Çevik stated that the materials used in bread production and labor expenses increased costs, saying, "When input costs are considered, 15 TL is a normal price for bread. Considering labor, flour, and yeast prices, the increase remains even below cost. We cannot calculate our monthly expenses exactly. Different rates are applied to flour and yeast every day. The fact that prices have not settled creates a problem."
CITIZENS ARE STRUGGLING
Citizen Nizam Çakmak, on the other hand, stated that the increase in bread prices is challenging for citizens, saying, "Increases are difficult for citizens, but I cannot say anything about the situation for tradesmen either."
