There are about 360 bakeries, confectioners and butchers with production facilities in the nine Tyrolean districts – for now! Because next Easter the lights were the first to go out. The reasons for this are on the one hand the sharp price increases in the field of raw materials, packaging materials and logistics due to Corona, and on the other hand the now exploding energy prices as a result of the war in Ukraine.
If politicians do not intervene quickly in support and electricity and gas prices continue to rise, “it means a threat to the survival of the company,” emphasize Gerd Jonak and Georg Schuler, spokespersons for the bakers and butchers in the Tyrolean Chamber of Commerce. . Passing on the increase one-to-one to customers is not possible due to the unwritten law of socially acceptable prices.
If you did, you should sell a kilo of brown bread for eight euros and a piece of pie for ten euros, and an extra kilo of sausage for about five euros more.
Energy cost subsidy and electricity price cap required
“Sales prices would at least double,” the two officials calculate. Like industry, food producers are demanding an energy cost subsidy, as private households receive, as well as a price cap for electricity and gas. Finally, if the worst-case scenario were to occur, the investment to make education attractive would have been in vain, Jonak and Schuler warn.
Not to mention the 200 students who are currently in danger of losing their jobs.
