SUN St.Kitts & Nevis: "After a series of meetings with bakers throughout the Federation, Cabinet took the decision to increase the cost of bread.
From 28 July, consumers will be required to pay an additional 25 cents on bread, according to a press release issued by the government yesterday. Higher wheat and fuel prices have forced the St. Kitts/Nevis Federal Cabinet to ratify a request by bakers to increase the price of bread.
Last September, BBC reported that world wheat prices rose to a 10-year high following a dramatic fall in harvests sparked by a severe drought in Australia and crop diseases across parts of Europe and the Americas. Meanwhile, demand for wheat-based produce is reaching record levels and the land once used to grow wheat is threatened by the demand for biofuel crops, the release said."
