This is stipulated by the Resolution of the Ministry of Economy of June 29, 2012, No. 60, which introduces additions and amendments to the Resolution of April 26, 2012, No. 35, the department of public relations of this agency informed a BELTA correspondent. "This Resolution provides for the possibility for manufacturing organisations to increase ex-factory prices, not exceeding the maximum ex-factory prices, for regulated groups of bread and loaves by 10% in July," the Ministry of Economy noted. This applies to rye and rye-wheat bread without or with additional domestic raw materials, as well as loaves and bread slices made from wheat flour with a total sugar and fat content of no more than 14% according to the recipe, weighing 300 g or more. The Resolution was adopted to compensate for the increased cost of agricultural raw materials, reduce production losses, and saturate the consumer market with socially significant types of bread and bakery products, taking into account the proposals of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Resolution of the Ministry of Economy No. 60 comes into force after its official publication - from July 15, 2012, the ministry clarified. -0-
