What so good about Chareidim that they can afford to ask double? Sure it's $65 a pound and not per box -2 lb?
They're extremely thin. They probably do have double the labor per pound.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

What is labor, 10% of the production cost?

Certainly not 100% but neither 10%. Much more than that when talking of handmade matzos.

Talking from inside knowledge? Or speculation, I personally have no idea...

Looking at the assembly line I'd guess less then 10%.

Yes.
So you'd know how much labor goes into that. And nowadays many hire frum men/women instead of what used to be only Russian women.

How much do you think the wheat costs per pound?

Very simple: people pay it so they can charge it. They sell out every year and I guarantee you that next year will be even more expensive.

And yes, it's per lb, not -2lb box.

I think it's closer to 100% than to 10%.

I believe a box of whole is officially 10 matzos, regardless of weight.

All the consumables (flour, water, and wood) are cheap, but every matzah can pass through 10 hands before making it into a box.

How does the Ukraine situation play into Matzah pricing this year? The Ukrainian stuff is bottom of the barrel, but any supply shortages at the bottom will drive pricing up across the board.

Only one of those ten hands is rolling it..

i sure hope the matzos this year will be crunchier than the last.
