Confectionery Prices
Sir, —The reports on the prices of confectionery deserve a closer look. Bags selling at Is have now been increased to Is 3d. The costs involved in producing confectionery are: ingredients (mainly sugar), labour, overhead, manufacturer’s profit, agent’s profit, 20 per cent, sales tax, retailer’s profit. If the new price is solely because of the rise in sugar, why the increase of at least Is a pound—a mere 25 per cenit.? —Yours, etc., EX-MANUFACTURER. June 10, 1963.
