Due to a combination of inflation, supply-chain disruptions, and tariffs on certain foreign imports, food prices have steadily risen since 2020.
In the US, for example, food prices — which includes both food at home (groceries) and restaurant orders — increased 2.2% from February 2023 to February 2024, and the previous one-year period saw a spike of 9.5%.
