Two leading wheat flour manufacturers have announced price increases effective August 29, raising costs for consumers across Sri Lanka.
Prime flour producers Prima and Serendib have implemented a price increase of Rs. 17 per kilogram on wheat flour products, with the adjustment taking effect from August 29, 2026. The companies made the announcement regarding the price hike simultaneously.
The reasons behind the increase were not detailed in available reports. This marks a notable adjustment in flour pricing that is likely to affect household budgets and the food production sector across the country.
The simultaneous price movement by both major producers suggests industry-wide pressures on wheat flour costs, though the specific factors driving these increases remain unclear from current information.
