More dough?
With droughts forecast to push up commodity prices over the coming year
we look at where consumers are already getting a good, or raw, deal on one of
the most basic staples, bread. The Economist Intelligence Unit compares typical
prices for a standard one kilogram white loaf of bread. Types will vary from
city to city depending on tastes, but the fact remains that bread is an
integral part of many diets. In Paris, where boulangerie offer a range of specialist loaves, bread can
cost over ten times more than in Tehran,
where flat Barberi bread is most common. Rates
for all cities subscribed to can be viewed by clicking on the Indices channel
and scrolling down to the price list.
