The article provides an overview of the significant increase in bread and wheat prices seen in July 2022, with the consumer price index for bread reaching 114 points, a 2% rise from two months prior and a 9% increase year-over-year. This surge is largely attributed to rising production costs in bakeries due to high raw material and energy prices. Additionally, the war in Ukraine has impacted grain production and export capabilities, leading to a global grain production forecast to drop to 2,784 million tons by 2022, marking the first decrease in four years. Factors such as energy price hikes, geopolitical tensions, and increased demand for wheat for bioethanol production contribute to the volatile wheat market and the likelihood of further bread price increases.
