The 2 companies 鳥越製粉 and 熊本製粉 will revise prices for commercial-use wheat flour from deliveries on 19 December. The increases are expected to reflect higher government selling prices as well as rising power and transportation costs.
The 2 companies 鳥越製粉 and 熊本製粉 announced that they would revise prices for commercial-use wheat flour from deliveries on 19 December. The explanation cited the 12.0% average increase across 5 varieties in the government's selling price for imported wheat, as well as possible increases in power and transportation costs due to the situation in the Middle East.
The revisions are per 25 kg: bread flour and semi-bread flour will increase by ¥295, all-purpose and cake flour by ¥240, and 100% domestic wheat flour by ¥395.
