Food price increases by the numbers

Food security in Lebanon depends on citizens' access to food supplies, which is influenced by the economic conditions that have increased transportation, energy, and essential service costs. Despite some items experiencing price hikes of up to 30%, the overall increase in food prices remains moderate, ranging between 3% and 5%, with certain categories such as meats and poultry showing more variation. The rise in prices is attributed to factors like shipping and energy costs, as well as the specific nature of each commodity. Data indicates that price increases over the past two months ranged from 1% to 2%, following previous periods of decline. Experts have called on the Lebanese government to ease the burden by avoiding new taxes and reducing energy levies to ensure the continuous supply of food to citizens and businesses.
