Are Germany’s bakers really in crisis?

The consumer advocates are therefore calling on the federal government to set up an independent price observation center to ensure that companies do not optimize their margins beyond what is acceptable. They say that this could also help manufacturers, because transparency leads to more acceptance, even for significant price increases. Because Völkel makes it clear that there is a willingness in Germany to pay food producers adequately. There is still no political response to the consumer advice centers’ demands and thus a final answer to the question of whether the prices for baked goods are really necessary to ensure the survival of companies.
