The price of simit has been increased in Istanbul. The price of a simit, which was sold for 25 liras across the city, has risen to 30 liras with a 5-lira increase.
Citizens who went to bakeries and simit stalls in the morning hours encountered the new prices. The increase in the price of simit, which is a frequently preferred practical breakfast option especially for workers and students, drew attention.
Bakers and simit stall operators stated that the rise in costs for basic inputs such as flour, sesame, and yeast, as well as the increase in operating expenses, were effective in the price hike.
