Butter prices drive bakeries in Saarland into the risk of bankruptcy!

Saarland, Deutschland - The Saarland bakeries are deep in the crisis! If you are looking forward to buying delicious Christstollen or fresh butter cookies, you should be prepared for peppered prices. The reason? Butter has achieved a new record price! Currently, customers in the supermarkets pay from 2.39 euros for a package butter - that is ten cents more than the previous pain limit last August. But that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Hans-Jörg Kleinbauer, state guild master of the bakery guild in Saarland, warns that the costs for bakeries have exploded! In addition to the horrendous butter price, it is also the increased truck toll costs, exploding energy and wage costs that affect companies. Kleinbauer complains: "We can no longer redistribute the additional costs to our customers." Many consumers are upset about the expensive prices in the bakeries and instead prefer to use cheap rolls at the discounter.

baker in distress - threatens bankruptcy!

As a result of these developments, numerous bakeries in Saarland are faced with bankruptcy! Kleinbauer gives alarming insights: Many companies are acutely endangered and he keeps a clear number secret. Above all, the possible increase in the minimum wage to 15 euros, as required by Federal Minister of Labor Hubertus Heil, the barrel could overflow. "That would be the end of many bakeries in Saarland," he warns vehemently. Kleinbauer sharply criticizes the federal government: "A minimum wage of 15 euros does not work in practice!" The bakeries in the region have to adapt to further increasing production costs. Belief in falling prices is like a fairy tale!

This threatening situation in the back industry is also discussed in the SR Info-messages on October 26, 2024. The alarm bells ring - the future of the bakers in Saarland is in danger!
