BEELITZ , Sept 25 — Faced with exploding energy and ingredient costs, German baker Tobias Exner has installed new energy-efficient ovens, shortened his opening hours and even considered baking at lower temperatures.
Bakeries in Germany have been among the businesses hardest hit by the economic fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And two of the main ingredients used by bakers — flour and oil — are among those that have been affected by blockades at Ukrainian ports. "You can see that the calculations no longer work," Exner said to the hum of machines at the company's main production site in the town of Beelitz.
In early September, around 800 German bakeries served customers in the dark for a day to draw attention to their plight.Germany's centre-left government has announced relief measures worth almost 100 billion euros to tackle inflation, but small businesses have so far been largely excluded from the help.
