The price of bread rose on Thursday, four days after the parliamentary election, as the Lebanese lira continues to depreciate against the dollar on the parallel market, the state-run National News Agency reported. According to the new prices published by the Economy Ministry, a family bundle package of white bread of 1,095 grams now costs LL16,000, a 13.24 percent increase in the per-gram price. The price of a large package increased by 12.6 percent in the per-gram price, reaching LL13,000 for a weight of 855 grams. The small package of 388 grams increased in the per-gram price by 13.4 percent, as it reached a price of LL8,000.
According to the NNA, the price increase is linked to that of fuel prices, which directly influences the cost of production of flour, bread and transport. These factors are added to the rise in the price of wheat in international markets due to the Russian war in Ukraine. Since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia on Feb. 24, Lebanon has been severely impacted since these two countries were two of the primary sources of its wheat imports.
