MAGA’s wholesale basket for La Terminal and CENMA does not cover this product, so there is no official figure on this page to check the estimate above against.

Wheat flour is used extensively in Guatemalan baking for pan dulce (sweet bread), pastries, and traditional breads. Guatemala imports most of its wheat, primarily from the United States and Canada, making flour prices sensitive to international grain markets and shipping costs. Pan dulce bakeries are found in every town and are a key part of daily food culture.
