There is a projected weaker demand for flour-based commodities such as bread and pan de sal due to the weak economy, said Ric Pinca, executive director of the  Philippine Association of Flour Millers (PAFMIL).


"The ongoing upward trend of almost every commodity in the country will  impact on the consumption attitude of consumers particularly on bread and other pastry products," said Pinca.
