More than 500,000 laganas to be baked for Clean Monday in Thessaloniki

Up to 7% more expensive, The traditional Lagana is expected to be more than 7% more expensive this year on Clean Monday, with its price ranging between 2.50-2.60 euros. At the same time, bakers in Thessaloniki declared that they are ready for Clean Monday as they will bake at least 500,000 pieces,
Speaking to AMNA, the president of the Thessaloniki Bakers' Association "The Prophet Elias", Elsa Koukumeria, said that the rumors about Lagana costing 5 euros per piece were "unsubstantiated" and "dangerous".
She notes at the same time that "the dynamic return of consumers to traditional bakeries in the last two years indicates the trust that has been built between bakers and the public."
She said that consumers are showing in practice that they are fully aware of any markups bakers are forced to make due to price increases in general.
"We talk every day. We know each other's pain and the financial difficulty that exists for all of us," she added.
