· Business · The Independent, Reuters
UK supermarket shoppers face sustained food price increases, with inflation expected to reach 6.4 per cent by July next year. The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) warned that geopolitical volatility, climate change, and regulatory costs are driving the rise. A grocery shop that cost £100 in January 2020 is now priced at £138.60, with an additional £8.90 increase projected by mid-2027. Manufacturers cited rising energy, logistics, and packaging costs as primary contributors to the price hikes. The FDF has urged the government to provide relief to help stabilize the food supply chain.
