The Ministry of Agriculture said that wheat flour companies have agreed to sell wheat flour at the previous price with immediate effect.
The agreement had been reached following talks between the Ministry of Agriculture and wheat flour companies.
Last week Prima Ceylon announced an increase in the price of wheat flour.
Prima said that the price of wheat flour had been increased by Rs. 5.50 per kilo.
