France’s bakeries are the lifeblood of many of its towns and villages.
Two years ago, Amaté bought butter for €6 a kilo. Now it costs €12 . Flour prices have risen three times in one year. Eggs, milk and cream are also much more expensive.that’s been particularly painful for many businesses due to the speed of cost increases when electricity contracts are renewed. French power prices have fallen back from the record high reached in August but are still nearly three times their average pre-invasion levels for March, according to data from the European Energy Exchange.
Thierry Maillard, who owns a bakery northwest of Paris with his wife Catherine, points out that a 20% reduction from the “shock absorber” would not have been enough to cover the 500% increase in his electricity costs he was facing. “If [bakers] have followed our guidance on energy moderation, if they have increased their prices, and they use the [government] help, bakeries are not threatened,” Anract said.

There must be some alternatives, such as solar powered ovens and cutting ingredients with cricket flour. Although costs may have risen, fighting climate change is worth every penny.
