Even before the war in Ukraine, farmers and food manufacturers were asking for higher prices to cushion the extra costs. Negotiations with large retailers ended last night, Tuesday March 1. An increase of 3 to 4% will appear very quickly on supermarket shelves.
In the coming weeks, the races are likely to cost more and more. Negotiations between producers and large retailers ended on the night of Tuesday March 1, with price increases on the shelves as a result. “They will result in a price increase of around 3% to 4%, which is very significant compared to what we have seen in recent years.”explains Jacques CreysselGeneral Delegate of the Trade Federation.
Among the products concerned, there is pasta, meat, poultry, milk and eggs. “It still feels on the final note”says one consumer. In the coming weeks, the prices of major brand products are expected to increase, to offset the rise in raw material prices. This is insufficient for a representative of industrialists, because it does not take into account transport or packaging costs. New negotiations could take place, because the war in Ukraine will impact transport and energy prices.
