Czech bakers produced 220,000 tons of bread last year, up 20,000 tons year-on-year, per industry groups. While demand for traditional pastries remains steady, consumers increasingly seek healthier options like rye, whole-grain, and gluten-free products. Small bakeries and local collaborations are growing trends, alongside sustainability. Retail chains report rising sales of specialty baked goods as shoppers prioritize quality, taste, and eco-friendly choices over price, according to industry leaders.
