Dear Editor,
Global Watch Jamaica is calling on the Bakers' Association of Jamaica to make downward adjustments to prices of baked products in light of the significant reduction in the cost of energy.
We note where the Jamaica Public Service Company has indicated that in the past year the average residential customer bill has been reduced by 18 per cent. We are certain that commercial customers would have enjoyed a reduction as well.
We also note that there has been a steady decline in the price of wheat. This was influenced by an abundance in the wheat market harvested in the United States and Canada. From all indications the price of wheat will continue to fall.
We note that the Broilers Association has rolled back the price of chicken and we commend them for standing up and doing the right thing for the benefit of the people.
Times have been hard on us all, but as we gain hope, so should the people.
