Ukraine and Russia's export ban on wheat has prompted the Czech Republic to limit its exports to prevent bread price hikes. Despite this, the Czech Ministry of Agriculture acknowledges that this measure will only temporarily and slightly mitigate the problem. Wheat prices in the Czech Republic have doubled from last year, reaching 11.5 thousand kroons per ton. As a result, countries reliant on Russian grain are seeking alternatives, including the Czech Republic. The rise in raw material and energy costs has led to increased bakery consumption, but so far, bread prices in the Czech Republic have been stabilized.
