Average Grocery Bills Almost 30% Higher Since 2021

Since 2021, we have witnessed an alarming increase in food costs across numerous regions. In the same period, dozens of food processing facilities have either blown up or burned down which greatly reduces supply.

Global food prices have been soaring due to other various factors, such as disruptions in supply chains caused by the ongoing pandemic, and rising energy and transportation expenses. The cost of staple foods like grains, vegetables, and dairy products has surged significantly, impacting individuals and families worldwide. This escalation has contributed to food insecurity, making it increasingly difficult for lower-income individuals to access nutritious meals. As we assess the consequences of these rising food costs, it is crucial to strengthen efforts towards sustainable agriculture, promote local food production, and improve distribution systems to ensure food security and affordability for all.
