The cost of wheat flour has risen by Rs. 13.00 per kilogram, taking effect immediately across the market, according to manufacturer and distributor sources. The adjustment reflects ongoing pressures on commodity pricing in the local market.
The increase adds to a series of price movements affecting essential food items consumed regularly by Sri Lankan households. Wheat flour remains a fundamental ingredient in daily cooking and commercial bakery operations throughout the country.
Manufacturers cited the immediate implementation of the new pricing structure, suggesting minimal transition period for retailers and consumers to adjust to the revised costs. The move is expected to flow through retail channels within days as existing stock at previous price points depletes.
