SUN St.Kitts & Nevis: "Government’s proposal of a 10 cents increase on bread which now sells for $1.25 was described as “insulting” but an increase of 25 cents has been deemed as acceptable for the time being by the country’s bakers.
Owner of American Bakery, Reginald Amory said the extra 25 cents increase which was granted for the government controlled product is not reasonable, noting that the last increase was approximately 13 years ago.
Amory said they (the bakers) “were hoping to get $2 (increase) on the $1.25 bread or a minimum of $1.75 (but) government came back with the 25 cents for a new cost of $1.50 and they agreed that this will be the price until the end of the year.”"
