Bread

Article Abstract:

The British consumed 2.12 billion pounds sterling worth of retail-sold bread in 1997. About 75% of the bread sold during the year were produced by plant bakers while another 16% were provided by in-store bakeries. A slight drop in domestic consumption per head of bread was observed, with middle-aged and senior citizens consuming bread more than younger people. The steady decline of the retail volume of bread sales is expected to continue although it would be offset by a marginal increase in value.
