Artisanal bakers in La Paz are considering reducing the weight of bread due to a significant increase in the price of Argentine flour. The executive secretary of the Federation of Artisan Bakers of La Paz, Dandy Mallea, stated that the high price of wheat is due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The bakers are also seeking a larger quota from Emapa to meet the demand. The bakers will also review the cost structure, which includes 200 items, and are hoping for Emapa to guarantee the committed flour to avoid a lack of bread for the population.
