A supermarket boss says food price increases are heading in the right direction. The Stats NZ Food Price Index shows there was an 8% increase in the year to September, which is a lower increase than previously. Foodstuffs North Island Managing Director, Chris Quin, told Mike Hosking that while the trend is heading down food prices are still up, impacting every household. He says it's not until late next year we're expecting to get back to numbers around 3%. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The cost of food is still going up, but more slowly. Stats NZ says in the year to August prices rose 8.9%, particularly eggs, yoghurt, and non-perishables like potato chips. That's down from the 12.5% lift in April and June, but still historically high. Foodstuffs NZ Managing Director, Chris Quin, told Mike Hosking that while it is increasing year on year, it's coming down month on month. He said that they know customers need prices to fall again, and they hope that they can move past some of the weather events and shortages causing these prices.

Well, the Consumer Price Index is 6 percent. The numbers were out this morning and I think with 6 percent, we can say with confidence that, barring disaster, headline inflation in New Zealand has peaked. From the post-pandemic high of 7.3 percent a year ago, we've now recorded 3 successive quarters of data heading in the right direction. I think we can call it a trend. Today's number isn't surprising though, given the majority of mortgage holders have now moved off those all-time low interest rates. But 6 percent is still a long way from the Reserve Bank's target band of 1-3 percent. And both the Reserve Bank and the big bank economists- who were all pretty close in their forecasts today- reckon it's going to be a real slog to make the progress required in order to halve inflation from its current point. What does it mean for the election? Well, the next CPI data isn't out until October 17th, so this is it- the last set of data we're going to get out of Stats NZ before Kiwis go to the polls. But I think any sense of relief that Grant Robertson and Chris Hipkins have today will be nullified by the food inflation figures. All sorts of metrics make up the CPI. But apart from buying petrol, there are few activities in which consumers regularly confront prices and price increases like the weekly supermarket run. Yes, the cost of housing and construction is going up, but there is nothing like a trip to the supermarket to have the reality of rising prices literally in your face. According to last week's Food Price Index, fruit and vegetable prices are up 22 percent on June 2022. 22 percent! Meat, fish and poultry are up 11 percent, it's brutal. Today's numbers don't make it any likelier the Reserve Bank will cut interest rates before the election. If anything, they're more likely to raise the OCR. If the food price increases don't cool down, it's going to be very hard for the Government to argue that it's actually winning the cost of living battle in a way that is meaningful for New Zealand voters. They can point to that headline number, but sentiment is the thing that really matters. And if voters don't feel like inflation is being brought under control and every time they go to the supermarket they get a nasty surprise- the CPI data isn't worth much come the campaign.

The latest report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations - showed that its Food Price Index rose by 0.6% month on month in April. Now this might not sound like much, but - this marks the first increase in the FFPI since March 2022, when prices rose by 13.1% on month in the wake of Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. In terms of the constituent groupings, the increase was driven by a 1.3% m-o-m rise in meat prices and a 17.6% m-o-m rise in the price of sugar. To help us understand what's driving these costs and what this means for other commodity prices Rachel Kelly spoke with Matthew Biggin, Commodity Analyst at Fitch Solutions.

In the US, food waste is a pervasive problem, with an estimated 30 to 40 percent of the country's food supply going to waste each year. This amounts to around 133 billion pounds of food, worth an estimated $161 billion, being discarded annually. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about Full Harvest and other companies that sell surplus or imperfect produce that would otherwise be thrown away. By using Full Harvest, farmers can reduce their waste and increase their profits, while food and beverage companies can access high-quality produce at a lower cost. Its platform operates using digitization, with a user-friendly interface that streamlines the buying and selling process. Companies like Full Harvest, Imperfect Foods and Misfits Market are doing their part to reduce food waste and promote sustainability through digitization. The team wonders why these types of platforms are relatively new and whether food products that contain imperfect produce should require a label to inform consumers of the quality. Also in this episode, Sydney talks about United Nations' (UN) Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) food price index, which saw an increase in April after a year-long decline. The FAO food price index monitors the prices of the most traded food commodities worldwide and measures the average monthly change in international prices for a basket of food commodities, including meat, dairy products, cereals, oils and sugar. In April, the FAO food price index recorded an average of 127.2 points, compared to 126.5 points in March. The index is an essential barometer for food security and provides valuable insights into the economic and environmental factors that influence food prices. The index allows policymakers, food producers and consumers to track changes in food prices and plan accordingly. It is also used to monitor global food security. By tracking changes in food prices, policymakers, food producers and consumers can take steps to ensure food security and stability in the global food market.Read the full article here:Full Harvest is Leading the Charge Against Food Waste with DigitizationFAO Food Price Index Rises for the First Time in a YearFor more food and beverage industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social Media Twitter: @XtalksFood Instagram: @Xtalks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured
There's some hope that supplier costs to supermarkets will soon show signs of easing. The Infometrics-Foodstuffs New Zealand Grocery Supplier Cost Index shows a 10% increase in what suppliers charged supermarkets for goods in April. We've seen increases of 10% or more for the past six months. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen says this reflects suppliers themselves are facing very high input price pressures. He says we're starting to see some signs of possibly less intense cost pressures, but they are remaining high for now. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prices for food commodities like grains and vegetable oils reached their highest levels ever last month largely because of “massive supply disruptions” caused by Russia's war in Ukraine, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Index. The FAO said its Food Price Index, which it uses to track the costs of different foods, was up 12.6% since February and reached its highest point since its inception in 1990. Anything with grains, wheat, barley, and corn saw its price rise dramatically, as Russia and Ukraine combined account for 30% of global wheat exports and 20% of global corn exports. Vegetable oil prices also increased significantly, with Ukraine and Russia being the top two exporters of sunflower seed oils. The FAO also said poor weather conditions in the United States and China also were blamed for crop concerns.
In its first episode Fearonomics: can we fix the looming food crisis? Jonathan Charles, EBRD's Managing Director, Communications, will be discussing the most pressing issues with Sergei Guriev, EBRD former Chief Economist and professor of economics at Science Po and Beata Javorcik, EBRD's Chief Economist (current) and also professor of Economics at Oxford University. They will explore a wide range of economic fears from global famine to energy security and the death of globalisation. In its first episode Fearonomics will be exploring whether the looming food crises is avoidable. Even before the war on Ukraine and the pandemic according to the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organisation, 690 million people or 9% of the world's population, were already facing food insecurity and hunger. Now with Food Price Index reaching highest levels of all time, the consequences could be stark: from price hikes to social riots. Is there any way to avoid the catastrophe?

This Focal Point Friday we're going to take a high level look at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Food Price Index. What is it, what does it mean, and how does it affect us as consumers and people across the globe in general? I think it's important for us when we see prices going up for food and goods that we use on a daily basis, to have an understanding of why that's happening. We live in a global economy and our individual countries, with very few exceptions, do not operate in a bubble or in a silo. We are all interconnected and that includes what happens with our food prices.
