Food prices inspired by the cost of high meat and tea

A survey states that meat and tea prices have helped to increase food price inflation for the sixth consecutive month.

According to the latest shop price monitor from the British Retail Consortium (BRC), up to 4% in July, July 4% in July.

BRC CEO Helen Dickinson said strict global supply for staples including meat and tea has barely hit bulk prices.

New figures echo Separate research published last weekWhich was found that domestic grocery bills were growing to £ 275 this year.

Inflation was found in the BRC survey – the rate at which prices increased – 3.2% for fresh food including fruits and vegetables remained 3.2% in July to July, but inflation for cupboard goods increased by 5.1% in the same period.

Ms. Dikinson said that families would have paid attention to their high food bills.

He said, “Staples like meat and tea were the most difficult because wholesale prices have been killed by strict global supply for both categories. This has helped to increase the total shop prices,” she said.

Andrew Kibal, managing director and founder of Heck Sausage, told the BBC Today program that there was a “right storm” of factors that increase the price of beef and chicken.

He said that the prices of chicken alone have increased from £ 2.85 per kg to £ 5.50 in the last two years, operating with a combination of avian flu and low stock intensity, which means reducing the number of chickens in each shed.

“It’s a good thing, we fully support it but you find less chickens in a shed [and] Mr. Kebale said that there is not enough sheds to blunt it and it is currently running the prices of availability through the roof.

He said that his company was trying not to pass additional costs for retailers, and supermarkets were also trying to keep the cost low for shopkeepers.

However, he said “I think it only reaches the point where it is actually coming and that is why you are looking at those growth now.”

Food prices increased More than expected growth for Britain’s inflation In June in the year.

The latest official data of the National Statistics (ONS) office put the UK inflation – as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) – 3.6%, above 3.4% in May.

According to ONS, prices for food and non-insufficient drinks increased 4.5% in June, the highest rate since February 2024.

Mike Watkins, retailer and head of business insight at NIQ, said that inflation would be worried about high road retailers in the hope of maintaining customers during the summer holiday season.

He said, “Consumers’ domestic budgets are coming under pressure from food retailers, now seeing the price increase above CPI,” he said.

“However, the price competition aid by the promotional activity will still mean that shopkeepers can save money by purchasing.

Ms. Dickson said that there were “some bright places” in research, “with discounts in fashion and furniture, gave consumers a chance to refresh their wardrobe and homes.”

Overall, the price inflation increased from 0.4% to 0.7% in June, and from an average of three months to 0.3%.

Last week, separate research by the nuclear from the worldPanal found that food prices increased by 5.2% compared to last year, leading to the price increase for chocolate, butter, spread and fresh meat.
