Some simplistic analysis of recent food price increases in media. Yes, food prices have increased in last 12 months by a little more than general inflation (CPI). However, in last 15 yrs, CPI increased at about 2.5 times the rate of food prices and electricity 10 times.

This analysis, from the CCPC report on grocery prices tells quite a story. Shows that average food prices in 2024 was 1% higher than 2008 levels, lagging way behind other countries. The EU average increase? 58%. Hard to figure why media coverage constantly overlooks this
