Significant decrease in confectionery sales

According to Eqtesadonline, quoting Tasnim, Ali Beneficiary announced the change of procedure in supplying sweets to customers and calculating the weight of boxes and boxes of sweets on the approved prices of confectioneries and pastry shops, said: We were required to deduct the weight of the box when the sweets were offered in order to comply with the net sales, but as the price of paper and cartons became more expensive, today we are in a situation where the price of the candy box is more expensive than the sweets themselves.

He continued: “Accordingly, and to prevent price increases, from the past few months, when the price of the box was increased by 300 to 400 percent in proportion to the price of paper, we decided to calculate the weight of the box with the price of sweets.”

The head of the Tehran Confectioners’ Union, stating that by the end of the year we will not have any increase in the price of sweets, said: “Unfortunately, our colleagues are facing an increase in the price of raw materials and even some shortages in this sector. In the open market, it was bought at a price of about 60,000 to 70,000 tomans, today it is offered at a price of 110,000 tomans, and our colleagues also face problems in supplying liquid oil, the price of which has risen from 60,000 tomans to 120,000 tomans.
