A blow to your pocket: Due to rising flour prices - the price of matzo for Passover will increase by 20%

February 19, 2023   

This was the only thing we missed: In preparation for Passover, the price of matzo will increase by 20 percent. This was reported today (Sunday) by Kan News. The price will increase after last month the Ministry of Finance's price committee approved an increase in the controlled price of kosher flour by 37%. With the announcement of the increase in the price of flour, the largest matzo companies on the market planned to raise the price by a higher rate, but were unable to reach an agreement with the marketing chains. Today they reached an agreement, and announced that the price is expected to increase.
