On August 10, the NKR Vice Prime Minister, Minister of Finance Spartak
Tevosyan convoked a conference with participation of responsible
persons of big bakeries to discuss the issue of dramatic price rise
of bread in the Republic. At the conference to which the NKR public
services and Hakob Shahramanyan, the Head of State Commission on
Economic Rivalry Regulation, and Artak Balayan the Head of the NKR
Government adjunct State Statistic Service, were present causes for
price increase were discussed. According to heads of flour producing
organizations, the development is preconditioned by deficiency of
wheat in local market, which in its tern is connected with the price
indefiniteness. Heads of flour producing organizations appealed to
the Government with a request to perform strict control of wheat
export from the Republic.
According to bakerys' chiefs, increase of prices on first-necessity
food staffs depends on the flour price. For baking high quality bread
they import flour from Armenia as well: prices there during the last
two days were also increased. Though, by the Vice Prime Minister's
words, the dramatic price rise is not substantiated, as the bread is
still baked by the flour obtained by former prices.
