Rising production costs due to the energy crisis, labour shortages, and the increasing price of raw materials across the entire supply chain led to strong rises in the prices of staple foods in 2022. High single-digit price increases are also expected in 2023, as inflationary pressures persist. As a result, with consumers seeing their budgets being further restricted, retail volume sales of staple foods are expected to maintain their declining trend in 2023.
