I wonder if food prices in your country have also increased?

[Uruhara]

Since August in my country, the price of food, especially food staples such as wheat, rice and others, has experienced a very high price increase. This was apparently caused by the ongoing drought. Which makes several areas of plantations and rice fields fail to harvest due to lack of availability of water to water the plants. And this makes food stocks in the market start to run low from time to time. And yes, the price hike ensued. Rice prices here have even increased by around 9-10 percent in the last month in my area. And I'm afraid the increase will continue. Because many residents are starting to talk that if the drought continues longer then it is feared that the increase will occur higher and faster. For farmers, it can be said that currently they are getting big profits because they can sell agricultural products at high prices. but for ordinary citizens who do not have agricultural land, the current food prices really make them tight.

The residents' economic sector has actually begun to recover and improve in the past few months. But because at this time there was another spike in prices again, it made the people around me start to complain again about the current economy.

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

Here in India, ever since the NDA government came to power food prices had remained under control. However, for the last few months the prices of vegetables have shot up. Tomato used to cost $0.30 to $0.50 per kg, but the prices suddenly went up to $2.50 per kg. The government response was very lax, and therefore the hoarders got opportunity to indulge in black-marketing. And it is not just tomato. The price of other vegetables, as well as that of other staples such as wheat flour, sunflower oil and sugar has also gone up. 

[adaseb]

Price of food is up in pretty much every country. I think for most people it has at least doubled since 2019. You can find some deals but you will need to drive around from store to store and buy on certain days. Which is obviously not a solution for everybody.

We got food banks here which are pretty much empty because over the last few years people are using them more and people are donating less because what you donate is becoming expensive. Most likely the prices will never come down people will just need to buy cheaper meats or eat different types of foods to survive.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Since August in my country, the price of food, especially food staples such as wheat, rice and others, has experienced a very high price increase.

<...>

 But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

Depends. In Spain it has been very noticeable in some products. Watermelons and melons have had prohibitive prices this summer, apparently due to even higher than normal temperatures and lack of water in some areas, which has reduced production. The price of olive oil is also skyrocketing, in this case because although the new intensive crops are produced with drip irrigation, most of the production is dry-farmed, and the lack of rain in 2022 reduced production as well.

[Jatiluhung]

Maybe in several countries that have the same climate and weather, namely summer. So the conditions for an increase in several types of food may indeed experience the same thing in terms of an increase. Because some agricultural sectors such as rice fields will definitely not be able to be processed when there is no water. So it would be very natural if the price of rice will increase rapidly. But I believe the increase is only temporary. that is, it will only last until the rainy season returns. So don't worry. What we have to worry about is the current extreme weather that seems to be hitting several countries. And well the hot weather this season really is hotter than usual.
But it would be better if we make proper preparations by stocking up as much food as we can buy.

Regarding the price of wheat in the area where I work, there has not been a significant increase yet. or you could say it's still normal. But here the increase in the price of transportation costs is actually increasing. However, fuel prices have not yet increased. But somehow the cost of public transportation has increased.

However, several industrial sectors currently seem to have progressed quite well. Because more and more workers are being absorbed at this time. or it could be said that many industries are opening job vacancies here. But regarding the salary here there is still no increase. So if food prices rise then of course this will burden people.

[dothebeats]

It is ridiculous how the prices of food here in my country have increased. Sometimes it even makes me wonder how people who are earning less than the minimum wage can even handle such a price hike someone like me who is fortunate enough to work for a good-paying company and have investments is struggling to keep my budget. For example, before the rise in food prices, I used to be able to go grocery shopping once a month with enough food to last until the first week of the next coming month, I also had spare grocery money to buy take-outs. However, these days my good for-monthly grocery budget can now only suffice 2 weeks' worth of food, sometimes even less when I want to cook something with more ingredients. Even fast food takeouts now seem like a luxury that I can't enjoy once a week due to guilt that I can just use the money to save it and spend on more important things for the house.

[EarnOnVictor]

Inflation is a global plague presently, it comes once in a while and there is no permanent solution to it. As it is now, I don't believe there is a country in the world that is not experiencing the current one, or that didn't experience it as the case may be. Those who are saddled with the responsibility (government) will continue to manage it and try to curb it, however, I pity those countries in which governments are brainless and are for their own pockets. This is common in Africa and other developing countries, I'm afraid it might not stop in the near future in such places.

It's a pity that such countries have good lands, mineral resources and able-bodied people to feed the nation and also export it to other countries, yet they wallow in poverty and continue to experience Inflation and Shrinkflation of products.

[HajiBagi]

The situation in my country is so out of control that I don't think I can't explain it all. Since the new president took office at the beginning of 2023, everything has changed, and the first thing to change is the price of fuel. In my country, if the price of fuel changes, everything else will follow because we all know how important and valuable fuel is to every nation. Since agricultural products are the most significant resource in every nation and the price of fuel has increased, this has had an impact on all of the nation's resources, including its supply of agricultural goods. As a result, now that even food prices have increased, no one can foresee what they will be.

My concern is that the current state of affairs is beginning to negatively impact many citizens of the nation, especially the poor. Some citizens of the nation are already poor, making it difficult for them to eat, so how are they supposed to feed themselves now that food prices have increased?,I'm constantly wondering: Are the people who elected this government the ones who are suffering because of their decisions? To be if this is due to the government not knowing his responsibilities.

[Oshosondy]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

Ever since i am know myself, this is something normal, price of goods and services and other things are always going up till today, which means I expecting the price of goods and services to still continue to increase.

In countries like United States, they are also experiencimg it, but it is better. What you are talking about is inflation and it is common in all countries but the severity is different.

About food, that is the first thing that you should consider. But in my country, there are certain months that food price will be cheap during raining season, there are times in the dry seasons that food price will cost, depending on availability of the food. But there are some food that can be cheap during dry season and cost during raining season, example is banana.

What I noticed is that food will be cheap when it is plenty in the market. The more the supply the less the price.

[mindrust]

Of course it did. There is a global food crisis and global means it is happening everywhere in the world. It is not only food too. Almost every product’s price is going up. Food, electricity, water, housing, booze, cigs whatever you name it. I can’t think of a product that’s going down in price. The central banks are raising the interest rates but It is still not high enough to stop the inflation. As long as it is cheaper to borrow money to purchase stuff, the prices will keep going up. When will it end? I don’t think it will in the near future.

[Fiatless]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

You are not alone @Uruhara. In my country, the prices of food are going high every day. I just bought some loaves of bread and I had to pay double for them. This issue started immediately after Russia invaded Ukraine. This invasion affected the supply of major grains because Ukraine is a major supplier of these essential agricultural products.

The price stabilized after the grain deal was signed between Russia and other parties. But the recent blockage by Russia has compounded the problem again. Russia's decision to annul the agreement has caused the world to experience another shortage in supply. The recent ban on rice export by the Indian government due to domestic issues like inflation has also affected the global price of grain.

We cannot also neglect environmental issues like global warming which has led to flooding in some parts of my country. Many agricultural lands have been destroyed by floods leading to less production and price hikes.

[noorman0]

-snip-
Rice prices here have even increased by around 9-10 percent in the last month in my area.

In which area do you live? As far as I know, the government has warehouses for basic food supplies, especially rice, spread across every city district and this functions to maintain a stable distribution of commodity needs. An increase of 10% is actually quite high, in my area it has been quite stable since the pandemic ended. Do farmers in your area only trade their products locally?

[Kasabus]

I’ve been hearing a lot from different countries that foods and services prices have actually doubled, if not tripled. And probably, the rice price was never an exception. But I believe what happens in my country is worst, the rice price is really getting into my nerves. If you have no source of income, I don’t think you’ll be able to afford eating three times a day. And even if you have but at limited rate, you’ll still end up struggling trying to fit your income just to put food on the table.

This is another realization that saving is not enough, but we should gain additional source of income as well. It does not matter if it’s small, but it can still be a great help to buy our basic needs most particularly rice because for Filipinos, rice is life.

[Yamane_Keto]

The wave of fires and climate change forced food prices to rise globally, but there are Russia, Ukraine and some banned countries that may ease restrictions on them in order to export their own wheat. Political and climatic variables are what control the price in addition to economic variables, and since climatic variables are bad, I think that if there is a political consensus, prices may decrease.

You can compare the price in your country. Is the price in October of last year higher than the price at the present time? Did the price decrease until last June and start increasing? If charts are different, then there is a problem in your country, whether it is because of shipping or oil or inflation.

[bakasabo]

First of all, food prices always grow. It is not a miracle that they have increased. The price of milk from my childhood made x3. That is common for economy.

Speaking about current price growth, then it is not very noticable today or in a period of last 3-6 months. In my country food prices started to grow significantly 2-3 years ago, during start of covid wave. Good thing is that prices did not went up on everything. Shops try to keep prices on some products low.

[Ucy]

Price increase is relative from my experience. I remember back then when people complained about expensive foods, we usually bought them cheaper than what they claim. I think they could be telling the truth but we live in seperate reality and will likely experience things differently.
If you read posts on inflated prices and you believe them, the high price will become your reality & you will start seeing inflated products in real-time.
It's hard not to believe those that you share thesame reality with. Better to avoid pessimistic people and be with people who are stronger/wisers.


It's also important to avoid places that produce little but earn a lot. When you hear that wages are about to be increased in such places, that could mean increase in consumption and more inflation. Better to avoid such places. Live in places where production is higher than consumption. And much of the products have to remain locally rather than exported.  
Also avoid places where good quality is ignored in order to mass produce things and beat inflation. Always consume good quality products

[xSkylarx]

I've got stuck on the statement you've made that farmers in your place can sell their crops at a high price because in our country this is not happening because farmers can't increase their price because those buyers or middlemen that are buying it direct from the farmers and going to the market won't buy it when it is at a high price, and that is where the price goes up when the middle man decides the price, so farmers are still struggling, just like consumers. With our recent issue right now, where the price of rice increases 10%, a lot of people are really worried about it, and it was found out that it was just manipulated by those middlemen by hoarding it.

[crwth]

With everything that is happening and with the pandemic effect since 2019, I think it's really up to the point where a price increase is inevitable. The effects experienced from it are devastating knowing that a lot of people need care and of course, food. That's a necessity that we all need.

It has affected everyone and in my country, it's the same. I don't have the values right now but it is affected because of the memes going around with the shortage of food supply or whatnot.

What are the efforts by your government there OP?

[DeathAngel]

The price of food has increased due to a few things. One reason is the impact of extreme weather conditions such as droughts or floods which can lead to crop failures & reduced harvests. Obviously transportation costs have risen which affects the price of importing and distributing food. Changes in demand & supply chains as well as fluctuations in currency exchange rates can also contribute to higher prices. It's a complex issue but by understanding these factors we can work together to find ways to mitigate the effects & ensure access to affordable & nutritious food.

[Sim_card]

In Nigeria, the cost of food price is alarming and it is increasing rapidly everyday by day. If you buy a bag of rice today and you want to buy that same bag of rice by next week,you will be shocked to see that the price has increased with 5%. I have been wondering if it is because of the new government that came into power that has caused it because he removed fuel subsidy after ever since then,the price of food items and cost of living hasn't been stable,as it increases simultaneously. Inflation is a big problem to the world economy, especially to the third world countries that depends more on importation than production. Agriculture is now a major means to survive through this inflation.

[Helena Yu]

You're talking like farmers are making a lot money, this is not true because most of farmers are not really rich, they're just middle or low class people.

Farmers always get pressured with agent who're used to buy all of their harvest to sellers who will sell it to customer. What I know the sellers are mostly make a lot money because they're taking more risk that would receive higher profit.

Food prices always increased, currently it's caused by climate change since the weather is really hot and rarely to rain.

[sokani]

What you are experiencing is a seasonal scarcity caused by drought which made food stuffs to be quite expensive in the market in your country. Inflation is global and it gets worse when you have a bad government that's corrupt, short sighted and care less about its citizens. In my country we were already feeling the impact of inflation, then a new government took over april this year. After coming into office, the new administration immediately removed fuel subsidy which took fuel price to four times the initial price. The hike in fuel price skyrocketed the price of commodities in the markets and it's having a great toll on the lives of everyone.

[davis196]

In my country the food prices have increased by more than 50% in the last two years. There's no drought where I live and the agriculture production levels seems to be OK.
Many people are complaining about the big merchants forming a secret cartel and artificially pumping the prices, but so far there's no evidence and the government's anti-trust commission isn't doing it's job to find and punish the cartels.
I guess that we should put the blame on the pandemic and all the government support programs and "helicopter money" which were thrown at the economy back then. I don't know anything about the situation in your country, but I think that it's normal for food prices to go up, when there is a severe drought.

[Marykeller]

The situation in my country is so out of control that I don't think I can't explain it all.

To be if this is due to the government not knowing his responsibilities.

It is okay to point out what caused and contributed the increase in agricultural products in Nigeria is fuel but you should have also pointed out that Nigeria as a country mostly use imported goods not entirely dependent only their locally made product. They import almost everything they use.

Since that's what they do(importing goods from other countries), we can imagine what the cost of the things they import would be since their naira exchange rate to the dollar is approximately 900 naira to $1.

Until the time, Nigerians learn to produce or use their locally made products and have their own refinery, the price of things will be stabilized in a way that both the rich and the poor can afford.

Before that time comes, they will still be experiencing hardship and an increase in the price of goods and services.

[slapper]

EVERY country, including ours, is seeing an increase. It's not just your country or mine; it's the whole world. The prices? They're going up everywhere. It's a disaster, honestly! Rice, wheat, you name it - everything's going up. And what's the cause? Droughts, politics, bad policies, you know, the usual. I've always believe we need to make things better, but nobody actually care. And now look where we are.

On to farmers now: generating income? Yes, in the near future. However, what would happen if the drought persisted? No crops = no revenue. But I suppose not everyone is worried about that, am I right? It's always about getting what you want now. The problem here is shortsightedness. The economy was improving, didn't it? However, these escalating costs are a slap in the face. The economy starts to improve, but suddenly a new difficulty appears. It's like a story that never ends. Everywhere I turn, I see people crying. Who wouldn't, too?

The world can be difficult because it frequently throws curveballs. But we must get together, uncover answers, and restore order. I don't know if other people feel the same way, but that's how it looks to me. I won't even begin to talk about the government. They could accomplish a lot more! But rather? They do nothing but observe as events escalate. It's fucked

You're not alone in this mess. Everyone's in the same boat. And while I wish I could say it's different here, it's not. Prices? Rising. Drought? Everywhere. Solutions? Nowhere in sight. Unbelievable

[MarissaLopez]

Since August in my country, the price of food, especially food staples such as wheat, rice and others, has experienced a very high price increase. This was apparently caused by the ongoing drought.

Seriously,have gotten alot thinking on this. apparently in my country it has been a serious issue that we need not take for granted,cause its not helping the poor masses.

The increase in the prices of things have made so many individual unable to reach a particular target.and each day it keeps increasing and causing damages to the nation.

I wonder what the government its saying,cause its leading to the death of so many lives,cause they cant meet up to their expectation and i think we need to go back to agriculture and farming because this is the way out.

[Inwestour]

You're talking like farmers are making a lot money, this is not true because most of farmers are not really rich, they're just middle or low class people.

Food prices always increased, currently it's caused by climate change since the weather is really hot and rarely to rain.

You cannot compare all farmers, they plant different crops, some will have a good harvest, some will have a bad one, but farmers in any case bear greater risks than distributors, since they can plan at what price they will buy goods from farmers and at what price they will sell it.

Food prices will always rise primarily due to inflation, it is an almost constant process that never stops. Everything from seeds to fertilizers and fuel, which is needed in large quantities for harvesting, is becoming more expensive. Climate can also affect certain segments, if the year is very dry, prices will be even more expensive.

[Minecache]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

Even without drought or crop failure, the price of food or any other commodity will increase over time, and if there is no inflation or crop failure, they will increase but they won't increase quickly and we won't notice. Just compare food prices many years ago and prices before inflation occurred and you will see a huge difference. My country is also an agricultural country but does not have crop failures like your country, but prices are still very high compared to before inflation occurred and show almost no signs of decreasing.

[Mate2237]

Op I don't know which country you are. And if care is not taking the cost of living is worst in my country than yours. In my country fuel and US dollar are the determinants of cost of living. When dollar price rise up all the commodities also followed up including the local manufactured goods. But the imported goods are the worse to price in the market. And why the local manufactured goods are also cost because those who sell them will also buy the foreign goods so they have to sell their in a higher price to meet up with the foreign goods.

There is no constant General Light in the country so everyone who has a business that use light, buy their personal generators and buy fuel to do their businesses. So as fuel price increase they have to increase their services so that they can buy fuel again to run the businesses. So in all aspects of life in my country now is cost. And poor are crying everyday to survive.

Your country might be facing high inflation which has resulted in a significant increase in the price of goods and services. When a country depends on too much exportation than importation, this is usually what they face at the end of the day, the local food they ought to have produced within their own country like rice, wheat and other grains are all imported and with such behaviour, their purchasing power will continue to go down and the currency will become worthless.

Furthermore, when a country values so much another currency than their own currency, its currency doesn't usually have much value. My country, for example, is having similar challenges in dollarization, people prefer to have things in dollars than the local currency, and this has made the Naira become rubbish with high inflation in the general rise of food costs, you can't have few Naira and want to enjoy life any longer because they are worthless, hopefully, things changed with the new policy the monetary system has been implementing.

[bayu7adi]

We reside in the same country, OP, but I sense that our regions differ.

Here, the market prices for basic necessities have indeed experienced an increase, but it remains within reasonable limits. In my view, the rise isn't too significant, only hovering around 4% to 5%. As for prepared food, its prices remain unchanged, without any increase.

In accordance with the weather cycle in our tropical nation, it is likely that the rainy season will begin from October to April, so it is quite common for many crops to suffer from drought as we are approaching the end of the dry season.

[rat03gopoh]

What you are experiencing is a seasonal scarcity caused by drought which made food stuffs to be quite expensive in the market in your country.

In our country, we often experience an imbalance in the distribution of food commodities which causes differences in basic prices. In fact, the government has tried many things, especially minimizing geographical constraints on distribution (Indonesia is an archipelagic country). However, there are a few monopoly "games" by local elites who take advantage of various situations and are backed by a corrupt government.

[barisbilgili]

You're talking like farmers are making a lot money, this is not true because most of farmers are not really rich, they're just middle or low class people.

Farmers always get pressured with agent who're used to buy all of their harvest to sellers who will sell it to customer. What I know the sellers are mostly make a lot money because they're taking more risk that would receive higher profit.

Food prices always increased, currently it's caused by climate change since the weather is really hot and rarely to rain.

If we talk about farmer income or low selling prices making farmers less prosperous, it all depends on government policy because the government has a big role in regulating the price of fertilizer (agricultural material) and also its purchase. prices in big factories.

However, the increase in food prices in a country is not necessarily because the agricultural sector is experiencing disruption, because the increase in food prices is also influenced by currency fluctuations and global economic factors which have quite an influence on the increase in food prices in a country.

Even without drought or crop failure, the price of food or any other commodity will increase over time, and if there is no inflation or crop failure, they will increase but they won't increase quickly and we won't notice. Just compare food prices many years ago and prices before inflation occurred and you will see a huge difference. My country is also an agricultural country but does not have crop failures like your country, but prices are still very high compared to before inflation occurred and show almost no signs of decreasing.

As time goes by, almost every country experiences this, all of which are influenced by the global economy which will affect production costs, currency fluctuations, increases in world fuel prices and several others, causing an increase in food prices in every country, even though it is an agrarian country, but there are some of the things that affect this increase (if the country's government is not able to overcome and balance then they will also be based on the global economy) so it's the same in my opinion.

[bettercrypto]

Here in our country, it seems that there is no hope for the main commodities to go down because,  as time goes by, the prices are gradually increasing; even gasoline or crude oil are still going up. What's worse is that everyone is increasing the price, but the wages of the employees here are not increasing.

When the inflation rate increases, consumers will have more problems. The latest thing that has increased here is the price of rice due to those hoarding it. That's why I'm scratching my head about how to budget in these situations.

[irhact]

Because many residents are starting to talk that if the drought continues longer then it is feared that the increase will occur higher and faster. For farmers, it can be said that currently they are getting big profits because they can sell agricultural products at high prices. but for ordinary citizens who do not have agricultural land, the current food prices really make them tight.

Food prices has increased in many parts of the world and I think it has to do with the war going on in Ukraine and Russia. The war is affecting many things that Russian is known to supply and this is affecting other sectors. When food prices increase, the farmers aren't always those that benefits the most instead it's the resellers of the foodstuff that they buy from the farmers and also things used in farming increase in price so the farmers aren't always winning in this situations.

The changes in the price of food items has the bad weather toblame because of climate change making growing of foodstuffs difficult. Climate change has been in the top world issue for the past decade and nothing impactful has been done to resolve climate change.

[isaac_clarke22]

Not entirely sure where you reside, OP but I kinda relate to how much rice has been rising like crazy here as well in my country. I don't want to get political, but sometimes you just can't help but blame the one that governs the country due to the action s/he made.

What sucks even more is the jobs these days that don't tend to pay in align or at least higher than the current inflation. Sometimes I do think about working overseas just to make my income 100x higher than how I get paid locally.

[Mame89]

-snip-
Rice prices here have even increased by around 9-10 percent in the last month in my area.

In which area do you live? As far as I know, the government has warehouses for basic food supplies, especially rice, spread across every city district and this functions to maintain a stable distribution of commodity needs. An increase of 10% is actually quite high, in my area it has been quite stable since the pandemic ended. Do farmers in your area only trade their products locally?

It is true, if this is implemented or carried out by the central government instructing regional governments, it may not increase until it reaches 10%. But now in reality this is also happening where I am, where the government has failed to make policies and there is no food warehouse to maintain the stability of basic food prices, so that when there is a shortage of food needs prices rise very high.

In addition, this price increase is of course due to the government's mistake in protecting the mafia collectors. Because they buy from farmers at low prices but they sell at high prices in the market, this is what the current government doesn't know what they want. This is what happened to farmers, their crops were bought at low prices by collectors, resulting in an imbalance of farmers with very expensive fertilizer prices, so rice farmers suffered huge losses.

And maybe there is no more capital for reinvestment, sad. If the government wants to eradicate high food prices one by one, it must improve the welfare of farmers by stabilizing the prices of farmers' production of rice, chilies, etc. which of course is followed by very expensive fertilizer so that it costs nothing. There needs to be a balance for farmers so that food prices will also be stable.

An increase of 10% is actually quite high, in my area it has been quite stable since the pandemic ended. Do farmers in your area only trade their products locally?

It is true, if this is implemented or carried out by the central government instructing regional governments, it may not increase until it reaches 10%. But now in reality this is also happening where I am, where the government has failed to make policies and there is no food warehouse to maintain the stability of basic food prices, so that when there is a shortage of food needs prices rise very high.

In addition, this price increase is of course due to the government's mistake in protecting the mafia collectors. Because they buy from farmers at low prices but they sell at high prices in the market, this is what the current government doesn't know what they want. This is what happened to farmers, their crops were bought at low prices by collectors, resulting in an imbalance of farmers with very expensive fertilizer prices, so rice farmers suffered huge losses.

And maybe there is no more capital for reinvestment, sad. If the government wants to eradicate high food prices one by one, it must improve the welfare of farmers by stabilizing the prices of farmers' production of rice, chilies, etc. which of course is followed by very expensive fertilizer so that it costs nothing. There needs to be a balance for farmers so that food prices will also be stable.

There can only be one thing that the government can do so they can easily take action without opposition blocking what they are about to do, Buy the farms of the farmers. If it's not profitable for farmers, the government will buy their farmland. It's been happening worldwide.

All prices of things that are for sale are running high so it's not surprising anymore. Gas prices have doubled since the pandemic. No country today is exempted from this crisis.
The wheat supply chain was blamed because of the Ukraine war and rice in Asia I think was also because India stopped exporting because they wanted food security.

[topbitcoin]

It is true that currently commodity prices continue to increase, including the price of rice which is the staple food in our country. The reason is, fertilizer prices continue to skyrocket every year. To meet the domestic demand for fertilizer, we still depend on other countries (imports), while the availability of fertilizer is very limited, which causes the price to skyrocket. This makes some farmers confused and confused about the increasing need for fertilizer, while the availability of fertilizer is very limited and the price is expensive.

[Ultegra134]

It's certainly not an individual phenomenon, but a worldwide issue. However, some countries have been affected more than others, something that can be quickly identified by checking the annual inflation growth for each country. Everything is pretty much more expensive—rent, electricity, gasoline, not just groceries. Vegetables have doubled in price; snacks, soft drinks, and so on have also seen massive increases that aren't justified; and don't get me started on meat and dairy products. Even chicken and pork were generally considered cheap a year or two ago; now they're unbearable.

I used to buy chicken fillet at approximately €6 to €6.50 per kg, and now it's up to €10, and pork steaks from €4.50 to €5.00 to over €7.00 to €7.50. Buying cheese such as Feta or any large-cutting cheese is out of the question. Even budget supermarket chains such as Lidl are too expensive nowadays. The unfortunate is that I don't see any stop at this madness, prices seem to keep increasing.

[Lorence.xD]

Since August in my country, the price of food, especially food staples such as wheat, rice and others, has experienced a very high price increase. This was apparently caused by the ongoing drought. Which makes several areas of plantations and rice fields fail to harvest due to lack of availability of water to water the plants. And this makes food stocks in the market start to run low from time to time. And yes, the price hike ensued. Rice prices here have even increased by around 9-10 percent in the last month in my area. And I'm afraid the increase will continue. Because many residents are starting to talk that if the drought continues longer then it is feared that the increase will occur higher and faster. For farmers, it can be said that currently they are getting big profits because they can sell agricultural products at high prices. but for ordinary citizens who do not have agricultural land, the current food prices really make them tight.

The residents' economic sector has actually begun to recover and improve in the past few months. But because at this time there was another spike in prices again, it made the people around me start to complain again about the current economy.

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

Here in the PH, even there's no drought season as long as there's a problem in the agriculture that affects the plants or even the farmer, government thinks increasing the prices of products will cover the problems. Which is not the solution, if they only provide the agriculture sector more materials, funds and technology that could help them to harvest easily. I'm not pointing this kind of issue but I just remember the running President that he would lessen the prices of the rice to $4 per kilo. Well seems like the prices doubled up now. This is the problem here, they can't add the salaries income for average workers but they could easily increase the prices of goods. Let's say not in the salary but the support like sack of rice to every people. They don't have the funds? Of course its on their wallet what do you expect to an corrupt governance.

[MFahad]

I think that not only staples food increases in price but each and everything become expensive that a normal man cannot afford to buy it and I think that due to this inflation a poor man will not be able to eat well at Least one time a day.

The price of petrol and other energy costs are very higher and unreasonable in our country and cost of all other things are greatly allied with the energy costs so I think first of all government should take some positive development towards these things.

Other beneficial development will be that they should work on agriculture sector so at least people will be able to eat well because poor people are not concerned with expensive things so if they eat well then they will be satisfied with their lives.

[rachael9385]

In Nigeria, the cost of food price is alarming and it is increasing rapidly everyday by day. If you buy a bag of rice today and you want to buy that same bag of rice by next week,you will be shocked to see that the price has increased with 5%. I have been wondering if it is because of the new government that came into power that has caused it because he removed fuel subsidy after ever since then,the price of food items and cost of living hasn't been stable,as it increases simultaneously. Inflation is a big problem to the world economy, especially to the third world countries that depends more on importation than production. Agriculture is now a major means to survive through this inflation.

Yes mate you are correct, I am also a good Nigerian facing the same issue in the country, the price of things is going upper day by day and is not coming down even the governments are not doing anything about it, they are just talking and talking no actions are been taken so in this case I don't believe that things might change anytime soon.
In some locality is very hard for them to cope because it's hard for even the foods and other things to reach there, like in my place we live around water and it's hard for good stuffs and other thing to come through if you don't plan your self very well you will end up starving for the whole week.
Since the economy situations in Nigeria is getting more harder what we should do is just to get more jobs that pays good or do some minor local trading that can give us good profits by the end of the day so we will not just end up hoping for the government all alone.

Almost the entire world is currently experiencing an increase in the prices of basic commodities and also the prices of other products. Precisely what I see, the life of our society is now starting to ignore the agricultural sector and before that a lot of agricultural land has changed its function, so that when this condition gets worse, the price of basic commodities will rise sharply. Exporting raw materials abroad beyond the capacity needed by local people in the country will also have a big impact because the supply will decrease. The government has failed to support the lives of its people and failed to ensure survival, especially in regulating prices of basic commodities.

The market is also controlled by people who are greedy and they always see an opportunity to increase the price of goods to make a profit and in the midst of difficult economic conditions in society they take advantage of these conditions to make a profit. Hoarding of basic commodities also often occurs and this factor also affects prices to increase which is uncontrolled in traditional and modern markets.

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

In fact, I believe that prices are rising across the board, not just for food items, but for a variety of other goods as well. In my home country, I have seen prices rise for a variety of other goods as well, which I believe is due to the country's struggling economy. Price increases for goods are not a recent occurrence in my country, especially in the agricultural sector, where I have noticed that they occur annually. As I previously stated, I believe this is due to a weak economy and weak governments taking office.

I'm curious as to why there won't be an increase in food prices given that the methods farmers are utilizing to cultivate their crops are costly. Let's talk about farm equipment, which, as I believe everyone is aware, is something that most farmers cannot afford.and is the duty of government should provide assistance to farmers in purchasing those equipments, however, in all seriousness, the government is failing to do so despite their weak economic situation.

[bitzizzix]

The increase in prices of basic necessities can indeed threaten the lives of ordinary people, especially the lower middle class, who are increasingly having difficulty meeting their basic needs.
However, this seems to be happening in almost all countries and is also caused by several factors, perhaps one of which is the increase in prices of basic necessities due to population growth. As the population of a country increases, the need for basic necessities in that country also increases, this causes the prices of basic necessities in that country to also increase and become uneven.
And also the increase in the price of fuel and electricity which is the cause of the increase in basic commodities or other goods, because those who have businesses will increase their selling prices. And the weather factor is also the cause of rising prices of staples and other materials, and it all depends on the government's reasons for increasing staples or other materials, including war, inflation, global crisis and so on. And here we are required to be independent with our own awareness by minimizing expenses and also looking for additional income or side jobs, and this is the only thing we can do because we cannot do anything to avoid it.

[Cryptomultiplier]

For my country, just after the new president was sworn in, citizens who were living in bad conditions before now have it worse than it was.
This is simply owing to the fact that the USD which is used as exchange rate has risen by almost an imaginable percentage.
We have also had to endure the removal of fuel subsidy and have witnessed hike in crude oil products, gas, light bills, call/data rates, cost of transportation, raw unprocessed and even processed food items and commodities, bank/transaction charges too.

So yes OP, food prices and even interest rates have increased tremendously in my country.

Same condition which is really happening in my country now on which it isnt really just limited into price of rice or other correlated products but also in other products and services as well on which that everything is

really going into the roof on which it would really be putting you up into a certain situation on which you would really be that struggling if you are really just that earning sufficient or enough out of your dayjob.
Increasing prices does mean increasing spending or expenses on which it would really be putting you up on a tough situation and it do really sucks that your government hadn't really been able to see up some
solutions. One thing that i do have in mind is that if you do see that ricefields are totally able to supply out the masses then it is really just that possible that there might be a shortage just because
they do hold up the supply and make it looks that it was short so that they could be able to increase its price intentionally?

In that case, then they are really just that basically showing that they are really that indeed greedy and really just that minding on their own advantage and this is something
that could really be seen on a corrupted country.

[livingfree]

Those importing countries will really feel the heat of the inflation and those that don't have food security and are reliant on it will experience an increase in prices.

Like those rice eating countries, they will have no choice but to get used to the shooting up of prices because many of the exporting countries have stopped doing it.

They're focusing on their own citizens and if they're going to export rice into few countries, they're also going to limit it. That's why those biggest suppliers will able to be control the price.

This is what we are experiencing right now and our government can't do anything about this, we have to deal with it the hard way.
The price of the basic commodities increases as the market continues to drop, many are already suffering and yet our government is not doing anything.
Well, what can you expect from a corrupted government system, this has been the problem I guess we have to deal with this on our own and the better solution is to look for more source of income.

[Sanitough]

In my country, all I can say that prices have terribly gone so high. I pity those who have nothing to buy because with the current economy prices these days, people won’t no longer survive if they don’t have sufficient funds for survival. That’s the reason why focusing on a single job is not reasonable and dependable anymore, if you can have two-three additional jobs, much better. That will save you from the current inflation, and will help you manage and budget your funds without struggling on how to make your ends meet.

[kawetsriyanto]

Since August in my country, the price of food, especially food staples such as wheat, rice and others, has experienced a very high price increase.

The high increases of foods have started since the early of this year. The raise of fuel oil triggers the increase of foods prices. I assume it is not only happening in Indonesia, but some countries in the world also experienced the same. The price of foods actually can be controlled if the government wants to give the solution. Unfortunately, the government in Indonesia seems too busy preparing the presidential election in 2024 and they join the campaign for a particular political party. It is actually the responsibility of the economy minister to solve this problem. However, I have no serious efforts from the minister to deal with the foods price increase.

The residents' economic sector has actually begun to recover and improve in the past few months.

Before the increase of fuel oil, the economic sector has started to grow well. People can do their businesses normally because the pandemic is over. But the rise of fuel oil suddenly changes the situation.

There are things on which it cant really be totally be getting blamed on the government because there are commodity prices which are really that been led up by the market prices and they are just getting in lined with those things and they shouldn't really be taking all the blame but we know that people do really love or commonly be pointing out their fingers into those who had been governing or into those said positions on which i could not blame out people if they do have that kind of insight. This is why instead on making yourself that blaming out someone basing up on the condition
that you do have due to high prices, then it would be just that wise that you should really be that finding up ways to have more income so that you could really be able to survive despite of these
increasing prices. Although not all people would really be capable on doing so but at least you are taking up some action or step to make your life somewhat do able to sustain and prolong
despite of these conditions.

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

true, I also feel the same way and reportedly damn inflation is the reason for the increase in food prices in my city, (a little off topic) I just highlight the lifestyle of young people in my city, they don't seem to realize that their parents are currently economic difficulties, they always hang out in luxury places, even one of my neighbors complained, his son was lazy to find a job and always asked him for pocket money even though they often owed just buying rice.

Even though the difficulties during the last pandemic have gone, the economy in my city (perhaps throughout the world) is not yet completely stable (even though oil prices are still relatively low in my country) so my advice is that we all have to be able to manage our finances wisely at this time, don't waste money.

[_BlackStar]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

If you know that inflation has occurred in various parts of the world – then you must know what the answer is. I would say YES - prices of basic commodities have risen drastically despite the extreme weather, but it has happened so everywhere that we would almost call it a recession.

You're not the only one who's worried about this - but the average person has voiced those concerns for months before.
Inflation is still ongoing today and there seems to be no improvement. Fiat value continues to be lost as the price of goods continues to increase - so each of us needs to find the best solution to adjust expenses and income.

[blockman]

It is the same here in our country where food prices have gone up, the inflation rate has increased and even if it's not a double-digit percentage still that's quite high for most of us. The transportation sector has also made their hikes for the fares and that's because of unstoppable oil price hikes which is also another cause of the food price increase. Commodities have truly gone up but I believe that despite it's going to be hard to go back to the normal prices that we used to see it, at least a slash of its prices will definitely help a lot of us to cope up with this craziest trend which is the price hikes for most things.

[Rruchi man]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

The situation in your country is the same situation faced in some other countries, the difference is that they may be caused by different reasons not all drought related. Some are due to crisis in areas where there is high agricultural practice, to even increase in cost of transportation.

In my country for instances, there is enough fertile land for agriculture and there are still many farmers both in small and in large scale, the problem however right now is that there is now an increased price in the cost of petroleum product (PMS & Diesel), and this affected the cost of transporting these farm products from the farm to the market. Due to that, there is an increase in the price of some food items.

The situation may likely get worse, so it is good to prepare to make more money to be able to afford the food as the prices increase, or seek alternatives like starting to farm your own food for yourself and maybe your family.

[lionheart78]

I believe the price inflation of food is a global occurrence.  Since most of the agricultural lands are converted into housing or industrialized and commercialized, there is a lesser place to produce the needed food of people.  Aside from that the materials needed in producing goods also become expensive plus the increasing cost of transportation to move these food products.

As a matter of fact, the amount of budget we had last year can rarely buy 3/4 of the amount it can buy those times.  And the prices on the marketplace both online and local places are also soaring.  

[stomachgrowls]

If you are really just that an average worker on which your salary is really just that enough for a certain budget then any changes in price even on the slightest number would really be having that significant impact into your

budget and this is why i cant really blame out to those people who would really be having that kind of reaction even though it would really be that too highly that reactive but i do understand that part.
I agree on some points that it isnt really that always taking out the blame by the government since prices could really be that something in line with those world-market prices but we cant really that
able to avoid not to have questions specially of importation and exportation is already into that certain extent which it isnt really that something right anymore.

You would really be expecting people to have this kind of questioning about on whats happening with the governance of a certain country on which or where you are living in.
You would really be raising up with those kind of questions and concern regarding with those climbing prices.

It's like most of the countries in the world that have to deal with this and that's why we need to do something for ourselves to defeat this situation or at least survive.

Well, what can you expect from a corrupted government system,

It's just sad that a corrupt government will make a country's situation worser than what people are expecting to happen. Instead of helping and doing their tasks to mitigate the situation, they're not doing any good with that.

Well, what can you expect from a corrupted government system, this has been the problem I guess we have to deal with this on our own and the better solution is to look for more source of income.

It's normal to have that question because it's not normal for the most to see the continuous increase in price of commodities. We can't do anything with that.
We're just a peasant of our own and this system so, whatever price they dictate, it will just so happen no matter what's the trend locally and globally. We have to tight our belts and pockets because there seems to be a solution being taken by our government.

[poodle63]

food price have been rising ever since covid-19 hits, and it seems the inflation didn't even try to gets reduced meanwhile covid-19 already gone.
you just know what it means, it means that some people are having their best day of life getting that additional profits and they're not stopping.
this is the thing with many commodities, they always seek every opportunity to increase their price, even pandemic, then they just never go down or hardly go down.
thats why their price always increase every year and really high at that, i guess things will just get worse from here. the only way is to get more income.

[Arenga pinnata]

In several regions in Indonesia there has been a fairly rapid increase in food prices. Especially the prices of chilies, rice, cooking oil and chicken meat.

✓Red chili up about 17%
✓Rice Increases 3-5% (Different for each region)
✓Cooking Oil rose 4.78%
✓ Chicken Meat Up about 7%.

But there is an oddity that I found in the price of eggs which has actually fallen drastically at the moment in several regions in Indonesia. So many breeders complain about this. For consumers, this is a good thing, but for breeders, this is clearly detrimental to them. I think it's strange that when the price of meat goes up why eggs don't go up too. But the market price is difficult to predict.

But as long as people are still able to buy even though prices have increased, I think the economic sector is still fine.

[Woodie]

Sorry to hear about the whole drought issue causing some instability of food prices and the alike,  but am interested to know if you are affected by the oil prices too as this was what came to mind with the whole Russia- Ukraine war which has destabilized the oil/gas prices world over..and it's effects have a ripple effect to pretty much everything though we have adjusted and used to it by now.

During the COVID lockdown itself there is big rise in the food price, and during those days it wasn't that big as people got shut within their homes. Here other expenses were limited which didn't make the food price a big issue. Now everything have begun to run normally and the additional expenses make it look big. Then onwards people will get used to it and some sort of self cultivation will be the choice to overcome the increasing food price.

[Iroh]

I think the rise in the prices of food items have increased everywhere. Perhaps, it’s more pronounced in some countries than others but I believe the increase in foodstuffs are felt everywhere.
Your notion about farmers making huge amounts of profits due to selling off their agricultural products is not entirely accurate. Small to medium scale farmers, after selling off their products, would have to purchase other products and items they lack and need, settle bills and would also require the services of other professionals. There’s barely anything left of the huge profits after all this.

With inflation ravaging the land, it’s not surprising to see the price of food items rise and continue to climb. Asides the wealthy elites, this increase is felt all over. The average income earner have had to cut back on their spending or alternatively go in search of a side job.

Maybe what you say is true. Well, the farmers who benefit from selling agricultural products that have increased rapidly are seen to be getting big profits. But I forgot that the prices of other basic necessities are also increasing rapidly. So selling expensively is still balanced by buying other necessities which are also increasing. So it can be said that this is a balanced reciprocity.
At least farmers can offset the increase in prices of other basic commodities after they also sell and make more money.

Well, the ones that don't have it easy are those with low incomes. They have to start thinking and making some cuts to their spending needs. But the best solution may just be to earn extra income.

[Darker45]

Yes, it is currently happening, and I honestly don't know why. In your part, you'd understand the price increase because there are natural calamities happening. In my country, the announcement has always been that the supply is sufficient and yet the price is rising.

Just a month ago, the kind of rice that I buy is only around $0.80 a kilo. Today, the same costs more than a dollar. There's an increase of more than 20%. Oil increase is also happening. The same goes with other basic goods.

[landheer]

In my country there is also a drought and until now it is still the dry season, and food prices in my country have also started to rise, such as rice.

and many residents in my area, especially farmers, have started to complain a lot, because many have failed to harvest due to drought in their fields, and I hope that it will rain soon so that farmers can return to planting rice.

[Vaskiy]

According to the data point source from UN Agency report of my country, 74% can't afford healthy diet. The cost of healthy food have increased over the years. Yet, on comparison with the BRICS nations the food price in my country is low. The thing that makes an overview of food price is at its high is the stagnant income level which isn't moving forward than going down. The food cost in my country have increased by 65% whereas the income have increased to a maximum of 35%, so a balanced growth keep things under control.

[Uruhara]

-snip-
Rice prices here have even increased by around 9-10 percent in the last month in my area.

In which area do you live? As far as I know, the government has warehouses for basic food supplies, especially rice, spread across every city district and this functions to maintain a stable distribution of commodity needs. An increase of 10% is actually quite high, in my area it has been quite stable since the pandemic ended. Do farmers in your area only trade their products locally?

I live in Indonesia, the central region (Sorry I don't want to be specific here). Well, farmers here sell their agricultural products locally. But here there was quite a serious crop failure due to drought. Well, it hasn't rained here in a long time. About a few months ago the last time it rained. And the agricultural sector here is in a fairly high area. So here there is a lot of agricultural land that only relies on the rainy season. Meanwhile, in the dry season everything is left without planting anything. Well, in my opinion, the current increase in rice prices is the highest increase that I know of so far. But I heard the news that the government will solve it by importing rice from several countries. But I haven't heard any further news about this.

are you also Indonesian? where do you live?
because I read from other friends who are also from Indonesia but they said that in their area it was not too bad.

[Oasisman]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

I don't know if were in the same country, but here rice has been spiking crazy high. There was no report about significant increase in oil, which usually the basis of the prices in the market but the price of the rice has been increasing lately. Sure it was because of the shortage, but I'm pretty sure it's not because of the resources that we have that's making the stock being short, but it's probably because of the big businessmen who's trying to hoard thousands sacks of rice, forcing it to make it looks like there's a shortage. Some local government units are also involved in concealing this stocks helping it more safer for the greedy businessmen.

[dothebeats]

I think the rise in the prices of food items have increased everywhere. Perhaps, it’s more pronounced in some countries than others but I believe the increase in foodstuffs are felt everywhere.
Your notion about farmers making huge amounts of profits due to selling off their agricultural products is not entirely accurate. Small to medium scale farmers, after selling off their products, would have to purchase other products and items they lack and need, settle bills and would also require the services of other professionals. There’s barely anything left of the huge profits after all this.

With inflation ravaging the land, it’s not surprising to see the price of food items rise and continue to climb. Asides the wealthy elites, this increase is felt all over. The average income earner have had to cut back on their spending or alternatively go in search of a side job.

Well, in the discussion of farmers and their profits, there are certainly various factors that need to be considered. For example, according to an article by Will Snell in 2022, inflation causes pressure on farm commodity prices which in turn demands farm inputs that include borrowed funds. Additionally, the effects vary if the individual getting or losing profit is a farmland investor, a permanent landowner, or a land renter. Additionally, Marc Guilfoil, owner of Evans Mill Cattle Company stated that farmers are also being affected by the inflation as they have to pay higher prices for weed-killing chemicals, crop seeds, fertilizer, equipment repairs, and seasonal labor which are all detrimental to ensure that the farm is working and producing goods. Moreover, some needed chemicals even went out of stock and farmers need to find a quick replacement that will work just as well but most likely have a risk of higher rate. Guilfoil also added that he is sure, based on his current budgeting plan and assessment, that he is and will continue to spend more than he ever has to operate his farm as inflation continues to rise.

Here are the sources in case anyone wants to have a read or better understanding of the points I stated:

[Strongkored]

Since August in my country, the price of food, especially food staples such as wheat, rice and others, has experienced a very high price increase. This was apparently caused by the ongoing drought. Which makes several areas of plantations and rice fields fail to harvest due to lack of availability of water to water the plants. And this makes food stocks in the market start to run low from time to time. And yes, the price hike ensued. Rice prices here have even increased by around 9-10 percent in the last month in my area. And I'm afraid the increase will continue. Because many residents are starting to talk that if the drought continues longer then it is feared that the increase will occur higher and faster.

I think we are from the same country, indeed prices are increasing and indeed because supplies in the market are running low but not because the goods are not there but because of the actions of speculators who hoard for their profit when prices rise higher they will sell them, maybe you still remember the case of vegetable oil where entrepreneurs and speculators create panic by making it rare to be on the market so that people start thinking about buying in large quantities because they are worried that it will be increasingly difficult to get it.

For farmers, it can be said that currently they are getting big profits because they can sell agricultural products at high prices. but for ordinary citizens who do not have agricultural land, the current food prices really make them tight.

This is not entirely true, farmers are actually increasingly disadvantaged due to this extreme climate change because they cannot start farming because of drought, and crop failure makes them lose income, and if they can harvest then those who buy their agricultural products benefit, namely entrepreneurs, not farmers. The fate of farmers in our country is quite unfortunate because the government cannot fully protect them.

The residents' economic sector has actually begun to recover and improve in the past few months. But because at this time there was another spike in prices again, it made the people around me start to complain again about the current economy.

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

I think all countries are experiencing the same thing because extreme weather and causing difficulties in agriculture and so on are experienced all over the world.

[xSkylarx]

Sorry to hear about the whole drought issue causing some instability of food prices and the alike,  but am interested to know if you are affected by the oil prices too as this was what came to mind with the whole Russia- Ukraine war which has destabilized the oil/gas prices world over..and it's effects have a ripple effect to pretty much everything though we have adjusted and used to it by now.

For sure, all countries were affected by it because in my country it was the same, and what's worse is that the fare is getting expensive, and also everything gets expensive because, like food, it will be transferred from this location to another, which needs a vehicle, and that vehicle runs on gas, so the price goes up. Though past week's prices of oil came down in our country, this week it was already announced that they were increasing, so again we are back to higher prices.

[lovesmayfamilis]

In my country, food prices are rising very fast. To be honest, the population is already accustomed to and is not surprised by the increase. It is noteworthy that now you can buy equipment that does not look expensive at current prices in comparison with the most necessary food products. Medicines have risen to cosmic prices. For many, it turns out that people are forced to choose either to eat right or to save money and spoil their health, the treatment of which is also expensive.

[fruktik]

Here in India, ever since the NDA government came to power food prices had remained under control. However, for the last few months the prices of vegetables have shot up. Tomato used to cost $0.30 to $0.50 per kg, but the prices suddenly went up to $2.50 per kg. The government response was very lax, and therefore the hoarders got opportunity to indulge in black-marketing. And it is not just tomato. The price of other vegetables, as well as that of other staples such as wheat flour, sunflower oil and sugar has also gone up. 

This increase in price may be caused by a seasonal phenomenon and after some time everything will return to normal with the regulation of prices for such products.
It's great that you have price controls in India. In my country, everything rises in price several times a year. For everything without exception. The government just spat on its people a long time ago. They only worry about their own enrichment and their comfortable standard of living.

Indeed, the role of the government is very large in increasing food prices, in fact the government can do many ways to maintain price stability but they seem reluctant to do so and prefer to prioritize things that will benefit themselves. I see many governments of underdeveloped countries or developing countries that are indeed they don't really care about policies that benefit the common people and even exist in some agrarian countries but food prices continue to increase and farmers don't get big profits because all of this is played by the oligarchic government to make themselves and their groups richer, that is it's a very sad thing and in my country it's still like that.

In this case, it seems as if we can only remain silent without being able to do anything, perhaps criticizing the government and hoping that they are aware and care about the common people so that they make policies that benefit the small people (food price regulation) which is one of the ways we can do this. , the rest does not exist.

[Rockstarguy]

food price have been rising ever since covid-19 hits, and it seems the inflation didn't even try to gets reduced meanwhile covid-19 already gone.
you just know what it means, it means that some people are having their best day of life getting that additional profits and they're not stopping.
this is the thing with many commodities, they always seek every opportunity to increase their price, even pandemic, then they just never go down or hardly go down.
thats why their price always increase every year and really high at that, i guess things will just get worse from here. the only way is to get more income.

Inflation is just the cause for the increments of food price in the market and the price is not coming down because the economy keeps going bad. In my region the price of petrol has been the reason why things are getting very expensive because petrol is the major means for transportation it is affecting the price of every product in the market. The world economy is serious struggling to become better but it still keeps on getting tough that is why the price of things will keep on skyrocketing.

[naira]

In some areas where I live, because they are in rural areas, food prices are still quite stable because it is easy for us to find basic commodities, but in urban areas, since the start of the dry season or not, the prices of basic commodities are still expensive because they depend on supplies from the villages. In August, almost every region experiences a long dry season, quite a few agricultural lands fail to harvest as you experienced. Therefore, I always prepare for a long period of time to buy basic needs within a week or a month, this can avoid unexpected increases in raw material prices on the market. Even though in rural areas we still depend on fertilizers from factories because at this time apart from non-organic fertilizers, the use of organic fertilizers also needs to be balanced.

[SmartCharpa]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

Exactly food prices are rising in my country as well, and things are really getting out of hand. People constantly complain about the rising costs of food, but nothing is being done to address the problem. Most people can no longer eat three meals a day because the cost of goods has been double by more than three times in the past two months. How will non-farmers and non-agricultural workers be able to afford this? But we must continue to work hard and pray. As long as we remain on this planet, we will continue to have daily issues that are different.

When will it end? I don’t think it will in the near future.

End? The cost of goods and services has never decreased in my experience; rather, it has only gone up. I am unable to envisage a time when this trend would come to an end. As long as prices continue to rise, we should continue to make money, is the strong wish.

[Litzki1990]

Rising prices of daily essentials now seems to be an international problem as the prices of daily necessities are rising unabated in every country of the world. Not only food prices are increasing but every commodity is increasing in price. The price of fuel oil or edible oil has almost doubled from what it used to be at a normal price. Not only the price of goods has increased, but also the government has increased the amount of VAT on every item, due to which common people have to think a lot and plan to buy any item now. The common man wants the world to be normal and the prices of essential commodities and the prices of fuel and edible oil to return to normal.

[Baki202]

Location is important, and although I don't know much about people in rural areas or how they sell food items, I can speak for myself because I live in the state capital. Perhaps this explains why the cost of food is constantly rising. The economy is in such poor condition that even the politicians are finding it difficult to fix because of formal damages, and now they are making things worse on a daily basis. It now appears that whenever the get restocked, there prices are always going up. This may be because of the rise in the dollar and the constant increase in fuel prices. During dry season most of the harvest have been done and since its a continuous transaction process profit must be made. And during rainy season some part of rural areas are always affected by flood and it affect the whole production of food.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

The high cost of food, including other things in the market, is not being experienced in just one country; inflation is a global thing, but it is higher in some countries than other countries. Some countries economic systems are so bad that they get more inflated. Also, too much printing of money has contributed to the devaluation of currencies and reduced the purchasing power of the money, at that point, the price of goods increases and the money can only buy less of what it could before. In my country, the rate of inflation is far higher than it was last year, and not just food but even other things are so expensive. I just went to buy a new cell phone some days ago because I lost my phone recently, and there was a phone that last year was sold for about $400+ but now sells for almost $700. Everything is just very expensive in my country, even cooking gas and electricity bills.

[AicecreaME]

Well, the main reason for that aside from inflation here in my country is that the Government is not supplying the rice we have that is locally harvested but they are getting rice internationally, maybe to get more profits from their citizens, you know, corrupt politicians are not new anymore.

Even the locally products we have here are being neglected, or should I say they are doing it on purpose to continue importing products for their own benefits and us to suffer to the price hike of every single products here in my country.

There's no hope anymore, we never learn I guess, we're always voting politicians that has bad records just because they promised something good during their campaigns. God bless us all.

[radjie]

The weather factor is of course the trigger for several countries experiencing drought, causing agricultural land to lack water sources.  In fact, the current summer is quite extreme in some tropical countries, especially since farmers are also having difficulty producing maximum harvests.  As a result, there were many crop failures which became the main trigger for the increase in most food ingredients

Sadly, yes, we also experience this in our country. It continually increases not only the food prices but also the other goods, transportation services, and other limited products such as fuel and gasoline. Inflation has a significant impact on us. It affects the prices of goods and food products. It is because the purchasing power of currency decreases, causing the general level of prices for goods and services to increase over time.

Inflation happens in a country due to a lot of factors, such as supply chain disruptions, rising global oil prices, increasing the cost of transportation and energy, which can lead to higher prices for goods and services, depreciation of the country's currency against other currency, and impact of government policies and actions. It is influenced by a complex set of factors, including both domestic and global economic conditions. Whereas in my country, this is the usual headline in the news, I no longer doubt why there is a sudden, gradual increase in food prices and services that I see and experience today.

[Gozie51]

If all things were suppose to be the way we expect it, the government is suppose to play an important role in times of drought by providing adequate irrigation service. Large farms are suppose to be supported even when the small and rural farms will be too strenuous for government to deal with. Government know the big farms so I believe if they are sincere to feed the people time in and out of season then they should focus towards providing support for big farms at least that will go along way to help reduce hunger during drought season until the rain come back.

The price of other vegetables, as well as that of other staples such as wheat flour, sunflower oil and sugar has also gone up. 

Most of the food products are raw materials which rot if stored for a long time. and because of this, the price of food products rises every year.  And sometimes it escalates beyond our control.  Such incidents happen all over the world.  But in some countries it is more and in some countries it is less depending on the anti wastage system of that country. To deal with this, various managements of the government and vigilance of the food department of the government are required.  In my country too, the price of food products has increased a lot due to which it has become very difficult to run a family with our income. here tomato cost is $0.70-1$ per kg

[armanda90]

Its situation happening in my country Indonesian right now, government stop importing rice from outside countries and we are facing with price suddenly pump around 10% last several days. Supply and demand is important thing when local harvested with small amount and close import from other country make us difficult with small supply but higher demand. Still not get conclusion current price of rice up suddenly and our government not try to open import or not trough rice keep in higher price almost last a week.

Corrupt politician have impact why rice stopping import and they will make whales with rice up suddenly until have decision to open import and make rice back to normal price.

[Comingdown]

yes it is also increasing here in the philippines. Honestly, it is very difficult to budget your money, especially when you know that there is not enough because the prices will increase so much.
I think the price of rice here increases almost every day, but you can't do anything because you're just an ordinary person whose salary is only at the minimum. But I somehow manage to survive every day, maybe because of the extra work, so I also save a little money somehow

In this day and age, I think you really need to work hard if you want to survive because I think the prices that have increased will not go down, but I hope not

I think this is the very basic aspect of CPI (Consumer price Index). And if you see the CPI as well of the almost every country it's too high. And moreover specifically if you see the food prices they have gone double or even triple in past 2-3 years, infact even seasonal fluctuations of vegetables prices is too much that is also not a very good sign.

[Pierre 2]

We are experiencing huge food inflation in my country Türkiye. There are many different reasons for including domestic issues. But Russia-Ukraine war also badly affected it as we were probably importing oil from Ukraine. Grain deal is also known by many people obviously. I think covid badly affected food prices because of lowered production in any sectors existing. I think global food prices are not getting anything worse anymore, its getting bit better. But anyways our population (all humankind) is too high in my opinion.

[lizarder]

The common man wants the world to be normal and the prices of essential commodities and the prices of fuel and edible oil to return to normal.

Almost all parts of the world are currently experiencing price hikes for basic necessities and this problem continues with the instability of local people's income to buy all necessities. Ironically, drinking wages never went up after the price of basic necessities went up, which made it so difficult for the people to fulfill them. For the common people the increase in all commodities will greatly affect them, especially when talking about fulfilling the right to life which is directly related to the price of basic needs and now some are unable to go through increasingly severe conditions.

Some observers say that a solution is available if a small community has the desire to fulfill basic needs individually. Utilizing vacant land in the yard of the house is one solution as a short term option, but if the government does not try to provide solutions evenly, then the concept offered by observers will not work as expected. So there must be a long-term solution to overcome this problem and the government has a responsibility to solve this problem.

[Unbunplease]

The rise in food prices is not connected with any serious crisis. In my opinion, it is all being done artificially. Perhaps it is some kind of international cartel conspiracy. There is a lot of food produced. The situation with the rise in food prices is clearly not without the interference of politicians.

[Blowon]

well it's always increasing. In a year, according to my calculations, food prices increase more often than they decrease. Usually, at least a year, food prices can increase up to two to three times on big holidays, such as holidays and New Year. Unfortunately, almost no media covered the announcement of the reduction in basic food prices.

[Captain Corporate]

Recently it seems like it has stabilized a bit maybe? I am not entirely sure but it looks like its doing much better. This is what we absolutely needed, the inflation was so high that everyone was having a harder time, we are still having harder time but at the end of the day we are going to eventually slow down and that was expected, inflation can't go on forever and we can't just make the prices go up every single day. So its slowing down a bit, seems like there are still some increases but its not as bad as it used to be and I think it should be doing fine. Hopefully, everything gets better from here on out, that would make things much easier for us in the future.

[Cling18]

The prices of basic food in our country are continuously increasing. Rice, eggs, vegetables, and meat are now reaching a high price. That's the reason why people prefer buying unhealthy food just to save. These days, an average worker here in our country only earns enough to sustain their daily living. Life is a survival race here in our country because of the inflation crisis.
That's the reason why having a single job wouldn't be enough for most of us to afford what we need and to live a comfortable living. Everything is getting really expensive each day and we have no choice but to deal with it since complaining won't help any better.

[uneng]

well it's always increasing. In a year, according to my calculations, food prices increase more often than they decrease. Usually, at least a year, food prices can increase up to two to three times on big holidays, such as holidays and New Year. Unfortunately, almost no media covered the announcement of the reduction in basic food prices.

Hardly ever the prices of some products decrease after a year time period. And even when it happens, the prices of other basic products we also need are raised considerably, increasing our expenses in every cases. The situation is never favourable for the customer, besides the fact the raises in minimum wage are also purely aesthetics. There is no real increasement in purchasing power.

Also, notice the quality of products being sold decreasing year after year. Raw materials used are weak, have no endurance and in case of food there are less nutrients and taste. Our electronics break more often, our food doesn't taste like decades ago and our clothes and accessories don't last intact for more than 2 or 3 usages.

When we think about it, I don't see progress at all...

[Hispo]

I think food here has increased but not as much as in other countries, specially in Europe and the United States.
A kilogram of flour was about 1$ here and one can expect it to find it around 1,1$ or so. Still that is one of the cheapest things one can buy here, because how common and important maize flour is for families here.

On the other hand, imported goods have increased more, but I would dare to say it has more to do with the increase of taxation on importation than pure inflation.
When considering inflation here one needs to talk in terms of USA dollars, otherwise the answer would be yes to everything, since our local currency has suffered a constant loss of value since I can recall. I think it has been 20 years already.  

[mvdheuvel1983]

In my country, groceries like bread, meat, milk, cheese, and eggs have increased causing hardship particularly for lower-income households and overall economies. One of the reasons I think this is happening is there have been disruptions in global food markets due to planting season disruptions. To cope with the rising cost, if it is not super essential, I do not buy it. I have cut down on bread and replaced it with fruits and vegetables. Eating out is now once per week with friends if it is so important. There are a lot of other stuff that I do to save money too.

Well, we have to think about saving money. We switch from expensive foods to foods that are cheaper but with the same nutrition. Because after all, health must be our priority. The increase in food prices has made it difficult for many people with low incomes to meet their daily needs. And this has become a fairly common problem faced by many people.

In my country, it is vegetables and fruits whose prices have increased quite high. So I personally even reduced my fruit purchases a little. Switch from fruit that is slightly expensive to fruit that is cheaper but still contains the same nutritional value. Because for me health and nutritional adequacy must remain a top priority. Because I have to make more money. And all of that requires a healthy and strong body.

[jasonjm]

Every country in the world is facing inflation issues, and the prices of food and daily commodities have skyrocketed. I think the worst is yet to come as the world is about to go into recession, and the Russia-Ukrain war is not looking to end sooner. In my country, the prices of every product have almost doubled in the last 5 to 6 months. Predictions are that the prices might further increase in the coming months.

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

The price increase of rice is the current problem that we're facing here. Rice is our staple food here and it's struggle for many (especially to the less fortunate) to afford buying rice. Imagine, almost everything are increasing yet the salary of the workers are still the same. It's hard to cope if you're just relying on your salary and no other source of income.

Some people are even blaming the particular politician they elected from the past election for not doing what he promised during its campaign. Well, we have no choice but to go with flow, work hard and keep striving for our family.

[bettercrypto]

Almost the majority of goods here are high-end,  nothing is cheap today, to be honest. Since we cannot stop it as consumers, the only way I see it is for us to find other sources of income to meet our daily needs. Instead of complaining that we know it won't bring us anything good, it's better to be strategic as individuals.

In addition, the whole world is experiencing this rise in the price of goods on the market. Maybe the goods are more expensive for others than here for us, but there are also others that are cheaper for them than here for us.

[summonerrk]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

I think that such a bad situation is only in your country. At least I have not heard that even in the southern part of the country where I live there was a drought and the harvest suffered, although I live in a fairly agrarian country with a pronounced agricultural sector.
Is there noopportunoty to do an irrigation in your region? Irrigation is the supply of water to fields that lack moisture, and an increase in its reserves in the root layer of the soil in order to increase soil fertility.
Maybe such work could help to avoid such crises in the future.

In my country, groceries like bread, meat, milk, cheese, and eggs have increased causing hardship particularly for lower-income households and overall economies. One of the reasons I think this is happening is there have been disruptions in global food markets due to planting season disruptions. To cope with the rising cost, if it is not super essential, I do not buy it. I have cut down on bread and replaced it with fruits and vegetables. Eating out is now once per week with friends if it is so important. There are a lot of other stuff that I do to save money too.

Perhaps each country will have its own difficulties. In my country, especially in the countryside where I live, fruits and vegetables are more expensive than things like bread, eggs, and milk. I guess each region's food needs are different.
But in general, even though inflation lasted for nearly 2 years, the people of my village did not encounter too many difficulties because they could produce their own goods such as rice, eggs, and vegetables...I'm not saying their prices haven't increased, but in my opinion they haven't increased significantly.

Well, that is really how the people voted, so we have nothing to do with this but just find a source of income that can make us a living because right now all foods, even the cheapest ones that the poor can afford, are getting expensive, like vegetables. They can't now buy or sometimes get them for free because they are expensive. I also don't see any price drop in the future, and I do really hope that the price of rice will get back to its original price because it will be difficult if this continues.

It is true that every region has significant food needs because each region is also able to produce significant food products, both in volume and in quality. For example, here in my country, each region is known for producing different food products, some are known for producing rice, and some for fish and other seafood. Such a thing is the reason why local trade happens, our region exports foods that are produced here to other regions while other regions do the same to our region. In most cases, locally exported products have higher prices, like in my area, seafood has higher prices while in the area where my mother lives rice and meat costs are higher. However, when inflation hit, it seemed as if it didn't matter what your area is rich in, all prices of food and necessities skyrocketed and what I usually spend for a month's worth of groceries is now being used to suffice 2 weeks' worth of food.

[justdimin]

You cannot compare all farmers, they plant different crops, some will have a good harvest, some will have a bad one, but farmers in any case bear greater risks than distributors, since they can plan at what price they will buy goods from farmers and at what price they will sell it.

Food prices will always rise primarily due to inflation, it is an almost constant process that never stops. Everything from seeds to fertilizers and fuel, which is needed in large quantities for harvesting, is becoming more expensive. Climate can also affect certain segments, if the year is very dry, prices will be even more expensive.

I would guess that it is not simple to be a farmer because of the risks, but you are doing a job that has absolutely no qualification at all so it should not really be as simple as "get some seed, plant it, water it, harvest it, profit". That is of course not possible, there are huge corporations that buy nearly island size plots of lands to farm and ranch, so they could make millions and millions of dollars from it and that is why a simple farmer may not have the equal chances.

This is a difficult job as much as any other job, distributor is getting risks as well and it should be important for the future to be not that easy to handle, I think it would have been an important thing to do and would be better in the end.

[Pingrapole]

Food prices are increasing in every country in the world and the purchasing power of people is decreasing according to their income.
Food prices have been skyrocketing since Covid-19, coupled with the Russia-Ukraine war.Not in our country, but in almost developed and developing countries of the world, the price of food has increased at a high rate. Even if the rich countries cannot control the prices in their country, the income of the people in their country is high.They are not facing much problem due to which they are able to live fairly but in almost all the states in our country and our neighboring countries the prices are increasing rapidly along with it in some states.
Like Sri Lanka Pakistan and many other countries which are waiting to declare bankruptcy, our country is not doing very well and especially in the last one-year prices are increasing excessively which has effect all around.Cucumber or other tomatoes or various essential vegetables which we used to get at a low price are now skyrocketing
We are actually wondering whether the prices are actually increasing in our country or not every country is suffering from this calamity due to food crisis effects of war drought high unemployment etc. the price of food is increasing day by day.One of the many reasons is the increase in food prices, fuel is the most important by which we operate air, water, ships, railways, etc. Due to the increase in the price of these oils, our costing costs are high.As a result, traders will not be able to continue unless the price of raw materials is increased, and if we talk about agriculture, the situation is even more dire.Why can't they sell the product at a low price due to the middleman, they are increasing the price through the syndicate.But because of the broker boy, the prices are increasing at the rate of 15 to 20%. What about other countries, the production rate of agriculture in our South Asian countries is comparatively decreasing by 15 to 20% of what was produced before.Production is decreasing


Finally, I can say that there are many reasons for the increase in price, one of them is war, increase in oil price, syndicate, rough weather, etc.But we should all be frugal so that we can get by fairly with little money, and world leaders should stop the war and make a sound plan to get the world back to where it was before. I mean the previous state Countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, South Sudan, Ukraine, etc. have to buy food at very high prices, so we can say that not only we are in danger, the people of the whole world are in danger Price causes price increase.

[tjtonmoy]

Inflation caused the rise of price and then it was starting to settle down. It also dropped down a bit in the past. But it is starting to get up again. I am sure it is not because of the inflation for sure. Because it was over, well kinda. But that should have led to a stable or lower price again. That's not what happened. There was an incident that took place a few days ago. I guess others can agree on this.

There was this syndicate that was working to raise the price of a particular food item. What you were able to get for 50 tk per kg, went to 1k tk per kg. Imagine that. What they were doing was, creating a shortage in the market by storing that item in the storage. Buying at low to store and then releasing a portion in the market with a higher price. I am not sure if that's what happening there but there could be another reason. Like they farmed those items during inflation and they are not getting the price they were hoping for after inflation. Maybe that's the case. I donno.

[panganib999]

It for sure did. In the Philippines stuff doesn't usually cost much compared to the rest of the world, but since the newly-seated president's regime we're slowly getting fucked in the prices here. Rice which is a staple food of many in my country have become so expensive people at the highest seat of power are already looking for alternatives, while the rest are pointing fingers as to whom to blame for the lack of action. Groceries and food items continuously shoot up in prices, at some point even along the levels of countries like the US while we're getting paid peanuts here.

Altogether things are not looking so good for everyone. We can't really hope for change here since the people that were appointed by the stupefied masses are no-goods and lazy-asses who only see the presidency as a newfound way to steal money from the people.

[serveria.com]

Since August in my country, the price of food, especially food staples such as wheat, rice and others, has experienced a very high price increase. This was apparently caused by the ongoing drought. Which makes several areas of plantations and rice fields fail to harvest due to lack of availability of water to water the plants. And this makes food stocks in the market start to run low from time to time. And yes, the price hike ensued. Rice prices here have even increased by around 9-10 percent in the last month in my area. And I'm afraid the increase will continue. Because many residents are starting to talk that if the drought continues longer then it is feared that the increase will occur higher and faster. For farmers, it can be said that currently they are getting big profits because they can sell agricultural products at high prices. but for ordinary citizens who do not have agricultural land, the current food prices really make them tight.

The residents' economic sector has actually begun to recover and improve in the past few months. But because at this time there was another spike in prices again, it made the people around me start to complain again about the current economy.

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

It happens pretty much everywhere in the world. Energy prices are going up and food prices follow. If we take, for example, bread: you have to pay for fuel, electricity, natural gas to bake and transport bread. Employees want higher pay as they're commuting to work using cars and their expenses grow faster than their income.

[Obari]

Well I don't know which country you're from, but I must say that my country might be worst because the inflation isn't just about foodstuffs but life in general as almost tye price of everything has skyrocketed and the cost of living is already almost unbearable.
Well I know that, there are also people or sectors who thinks they're in profit from this whole inflation issue but I believe they haven't considered  the other areas of life where all the profits they make are also spent there and I believe one of the major reason my country is suffering from high prices in commodities is because of monopoly and there is a recent news though not verified of a bag of cement been sold for $4500 in my local currency and the same cement from the same manufacturer is exported and sold to a neighboring country at a cheaper price of #1500 when converted to my local currency and I really felt bad when I heard of the news.

Things are increasing everyday here and there is nothing the government are doing to make life easier for everyo6. Inflation had increase Manny times and we still don't know when another one will be added. We are all waiting for when the masses are going to match out and fight the government for making life hard for her citizens. Even transportation is not something that everyone can afford now while some persons choose to go trekking because they could not afford a 3 quare meals not even taking about paying for transportation.

[ChiBitCTy]

Prices here in the United States for groceries (food/drinks/etc) skyrocketed about a year ago or so now where we had a 40 year high in the rate of inflation, in particular food was his about as hard as anything. Certain “sectors” of food such a seafood were often up as high as 80% from their year before sale price.  Since inflation has started to come back down a bit, prices have also fallen a bit, but they are certainly not back to “normal”, nor do I think they ever will be.

maybe in your place they really could fulfill the people's needs through local agriculture and the likes, its different in the city though, inflation was so rampant, after the pandemic it just getting even worse.
nowadays we've lost 30% of purchasing value compared to before pandemic, that already show how significant the inflation is.
though I might argue that it might not be entirely because of pandemic itself, but it may acts as some kind of catalyst that further drives the inflation.
but at the end of the day we just really in dire need of increasing the value of ourselves as well as having more income.
otherwise our purchasing power will just plummet and decreased as the time goes.

Yes, what you say is not wrong, inflation may not cause much damage in rural areas, but in urban areas it has a very serious impact. Not only are commodity prices rising, but the bankruptcy of companies leading to mass unemployment is also taking place in major cities of my country.

Inflation is not caused by war or pandemic but is a process that lasts many years and unfortunately it happened at the right time of pandemic, war. That has made inflation worse, and this is not the first time our economy has been hit by inflation. I believe it will return in the future because that is the cycle of the world economy. We should not only find a way to tackle inflation now but also prepare for what will happen in the future.

[nangthothan]

Our regional staple is rice. Despite being the leading country in terms of exports, prices are still going up. The actual amount of money in circulation is getting less and less and prices are still climbing in many places

[Argoo]

You're talking like farmers are making a lot money, this is not true because most of farmers are not really rich, they're just middle or low class people.

Farmers always get pressured with agent who're used to buy all of their harvest to sellers who will sell it to customer. What I know the sellers are mostly make a lot money because they're taking more risk that would receive higher profit.

Food prices always increased, currently it's caused by climate change since the weather is really hot and rarely to rain.

I think that the events of recent years have had a negative impact on almost all countries, so it is not even necessary to ask in this forum whether food prices have risen in their countries. Coronavirus, dramatic global climate change, Russia's war in Ukraine, numerous cataclysms around the world lead to a sharp jump in inflation in all countries.

Agriculture due to climate change is now generally at high risk, farmers will suffer losses, so the situation with food will continue to worsen.

Of course, the conditions you are asking about in each place are different because of the geographic location and which sector the main source of livelihood for the people is from agriculture, fishing or other. and for the agricultural sector it is not yet fine even though at first glance it looks good, natural changes can occur quickly at any time due to climate change.

Agriculture due to climate change is now generally at high risk, farmers will suffer losses, so the situation with food will continue to worsen.

Yes. at least you have read the conditions and are concerned about what will happen in the future. Yes, this potential is right in front of our eyes and there are many preparations that must be prepared and we can see these signs from natural phenomena that have given implied signals and maybe this one is less of a concern for all of us because one and many other things must be considered. where people have to take a deep breath regarding the current economic situation.

[Uruhara]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

I think that such a bad situation is only in your country. At least I have not heard that even in the southern part of the country where I live there was a drought and the harvest suffered, although I live in a fairly agrarian country with a pronounced agricultural sector.
Is there noopportunoty to do an irrigation in your region? Irrigation is the supply of water to fields that lack moisture, and an increase in its reserves in the root layer of the soil in order to increase soil fertility.
Maybe such work could help to avoid such crises in the future.

In some areas that are quite low and quite flat, the irrigation system is indeed quite effective and yes, it can be done. But that's only a small part. Because most of the land here is difficult to implement an irrigation system because much of the land is at a height that makes it impossible to create an irrigation system. So most of the land here relies on the rainy season. Because some of the rivers here only leave very little water which will not be enough if it has to be channeled to residents' land.

First of all, let us try not to generalize our answer, let us only answer what we know and say that it is only in OP's country as many have already commented that they are experiencing the same thing. Instead, it would have been better if you answered that in your case it is not the same, because let's be real here, that is the only answer you are 100% sure about. Second, irrigation is not as easy as it sounds. As much help and pros that irrigation has, there are a lot of cons that need to be considered. For example, the cost of irrigation technology is often above what small-scale farmers can afford. Relying on government funds is also difficult as subsidies are often used for larger-scale public schemes, and commercial banks are mostly hesitant to lend money to smallholders as it is risky. Another point is that irrigation is difficult for countries and areas with a lack of water resources, it should be noted that there are various sectors in a country that requires the use of water and hence it is expected that competition in water accessibility will be at play. Lastly, if an irrigation system is applied, it should be managed, maintained, and designed, or else it will cause problems in financial resources, natural resources, and environmental problems.

There should be an initiative from the government to make dams or any catch basin based on the geographical location that you're at.
It sounds easy to say but if that's not applicable to your area, maybe those that have been living there in those types of areas have some solution to think of and they just have to propose it if they're asked about it. There are experts that could get a plan out of that but if it's just a plan without execution, still nothing will happen and also depending if there's a budget allotted.

[Betwrong]

~ But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

Right now it's a harvest season where I live. Consequently many agricultural products cost much less than half a year ago. But, surprisingly, some products, like watermelons, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet corn and peppers and some others, they cost less than a year ago during a previous harvest season.  In my country there are no such rules as "husband doing serious work and wife's doing buying and cooking". I love to cook and pretty often I buy products myself, so I know what I'm talking about. My advice: buy what is cheap at the moment and ignore overpriced stuff.

The construction of dam was most important key factor of the economy growth,because for the industries and the agriculture the water is important one.But for the dam,the very huge budget should be allotted by the government.It also choose the exact location for the dam.If the exact location was not find,it will affect the investment made by the government.The government should appoint the good committee for the dam construction before allocating of the funds to the project dam.Because food is the root cause for the economic development.

Coronavirus, dramatic global climate change, Russia's war in Ukraine, numerous cataclysms around the world lead to a sharp jump in inflation in all countries.

Some of the events you mentioned are events that really had an impact on the market and economic conditions because in fact it has been seen in the past that during the corona situation, dramatic global climate change, and Russia's war with Ukraine have had a special impact on the economic sector. So that there was a surge in the price of goods which could not be stopped by any government at that time and is still having an effect now.

Agriculture due to climate change is now generally at high risk, farmers will suffer losses, so the situation with food will continue to worsen.

This does exist and has happened before, but not all farmers have suffered losses due to climate change because there are some farmers who cultivate crops in a different way after they see others suffer losses in the food grown by other farmers. So only some of the farmers experienced losses while the rest could still be said to be doing well even though they also did not get large profits.

Apparently there isn’t any written rule as to the role of a woman, it’s just a division that is religiously driven and based on the idea of one having to be more productive than the other.

Now, it’s either you believe and take to it or not. Still, you can always choose and not having to pressure the other party to take to your beliefs.

When we talk about buying some cheap products especially during there harvest seasons, the question is always about preservation.
Still, people associate quality to price as you often don’t find the best quality cheap and this have driven the price of certain products to an insane price. It’s a sad reality but, we often play by these rules eventually.

You are right,  there's an after effect for each projects  that the government will finance, if they mistakenly deal with the wrong companies they might waste money.

With the bad economy money is very important and not doing anything will waste the opportunity and instead  of making something helpful it will create  disaster or additional problem.

@Uruhara since we are in the same country  Yes I also noticed in couple of prices of snacks You know what I am talking about I will give you an example price of chocolatos or the Beng Beng even Oreo also hit by the inflation. Maybe you will notice it by a smaller size or they increased the price to keep them to profitable.

before the pandemic, we hit inflation around 2% You might we not gonna notice but after the pandemic hit inflation spiked supply and demand disruption and ongoing war Even noodle prices went up by a percentage.

So we need to wait to all the economic calm down but I dont think today price and size wont back to the good old days again

This means that the current increase is indeed different in each region or different country. This is different from the global increase in wheat. It turns out that fruits and vegetables are indeed different for each region. Even in my country, which has around 34 provinces, it turns out that each province has slightly different conditions. However, the price of rice seems to be increasing nationally here or the majority of regions in my country are experiencing this. I'm glad to hear that your place is in harvest season. so you can be sure the price there will indeed be quite cheap. And there is no need to worry about depleting food supplies on the market.

Ah, everything you say is very true, my brother. Not only snacks but also other instant foods such as instant noodles, prices are currently increasing. There are some brands that do not increase prices. But unfortunately the content has been reduced. You must know Brand 'Mie Sukses'. This product does not experience increases like other noodles. but the content is reduced. In the past, I brewed a packet of these noodles and I would feel full. But this time I brewed 1 pack and I don't feel full yet

Right now, honestly, I'm paying attention to the price of tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and rice. The ones I mentioned are quite expensive; for example, 3 pieces of tomatoes are around 0.6 dollars,  a piece of potato is around 0.5 dollars, and a kilo of rice was last month around 0.75 dollars,  now it is 1.2 dollars per kilo.

The big adjustment I'm making right now is managing my budget for the week. Maybe because other businessmen are hoarding stocks at the same time, they are still having problems with our inflation rate. There is probably no right solution to get rid of this problem.

[xSkylarx]

There should be an initiative from the government to make dams or any catch basin based on the geographical location that you're at.
It sounds easy to say but if that's not applicable to your area, maybe those that have been living there in those types of areas have some solution to think of and they just have to propose it if they're asked about it. There are experts that could get a plan out of that but if it's just a plan without execution, still nothing will happen and also depending if there's a budget allotted.

The construction of dam was most important key factor of the economy growth,because for the industries and the agriculture the water is important one.But for the dam,the very huge budget should be allotted by the government.It also choose the exact location for the dam.If the exact location was not find,it will affect the investment made by the government.The government should appoint the good committee for the dam construction before allocating of the funds to the project dam.Because food is the root cause for the economic development.

You are right,  there's an after effect for each projects  that the government will finance, if they mistakenly deal with the wrong companies they might waste money.

With the bad economy money is very important and not doing anything will waste the opportunity and instead  of making something helpful it will create  disaster or additional problem.

In a bad or good economy, money is important because it is people's money, and it is used to ease the burden of the people's lives and also build projects that can improve the economy. Right now, I do belong in a poor country where most of the government's projects are always in the eyes of the people and checked all the time, like building and finishing roads. They always questioned all projects because they knew that corruption started there.

Prices here in the United States for groceries (food/drinks/etc) skyrocketed about a year ago or so now where we had a 40 year high in the rate of inflation, in particular food was his about as hard as anything. Certain “sectors” of food such a seafood were often up as high as 80% from their year before sale price.  Since inflation has started to come back down a bit, prices have also fallen a bit, but they are certainly not back to “normal”, nor do I think they ever will be.

As far as I know about inflation that rises high and then pressed so that it is simpler, on average from the case of inflation will not return to normal positions, there are some external cases that can make the price remain expensive even though inflation has been sent down, namely one of them is a trader Retail which is directly in the mechanism of meeting with consumers, they want to get a profit that is more than the decline in purchase prices after price increases. Although basically inflation has dropped normally from the total, retail traders or traders who come in direct contact with consumers different from the story, they will take advantage of this kind of momentum to increase massive income from low purchases and sales at high prices, which results in price increases still ongoing and not back to normal.

[Hanadawa]

@Uruhara since we are in the same country  Yes I also noticed in couple of prices of snacks You know what I am talking about I will give you an example price of chocolatos or the Beng Beng even Oreo also hit by the inflation. Maybe you will notice it by a smaller size or they increased the price to keep them to profitable.

As someone who is involved in the world of agriculture because several of my family are farmers, I admit that every year farmers complain more and more about crop yields and selling prices that are no longer balanced. I mean the selling price of grain every year does not increase significantly, while the price of basic commodities every year increases little by little due to inflation. Or as my brother @uruhara said, reduced quantity and volume like the "Mie Sukses" you told us about.
During the harvest season, prices tend to fall. I think this needs government intervention to control prices. Or at least provide subsidies for fertilizers and pesticides so that farmers can still survive by selling their agricultural products at prices that seem stuck there every year.

[demonica]

Price increase in a lot of products are very evident here in my country, especially for foods. Rice, vegetables and other stuff becomes more expensive. I don't follow much about the news so I also don't know if what causes the inflation. If it's also the same thing in other countries or is it just here because of our government. But I guess it's also a problem in other countries.

But the thing is, we're an agricultural country where agriculture has been a huge part of our economy's growth. Following the sudden increase of price of the rice here, they think it's because of hoarding since according to some report there's no shortage. So I think one of the reason why it becomes so expensive is because of politics as well. Idk when will it decrease or if it's even possible...

[Fivestar4everMVP]

The increase in the price of food items is an major issue that I believe is general, though it is caused by different reasons for different cities, like for example, here in Nigeria, food items like rice beans and other stable foodstuffs has gone up in price more than 300% from January this year, and this is not caused by any drought or something similar, but it's caused by bad governance, Nigeria is not just an oil producing nation, but also a food producing nation, we have soil that is very fertile, we are blessed with adequate rainfall that falls frequently and also sunshine that shines frequently to make sure that food crops grow well and produce well, but unfortunately, the actions and inactions of our leaders is what is throwing our nation into hardship and also food crises, I said speak right now, a bag of rice that I used to buy 15,000 to 20,000 naira now sells for over 60,000 naira, and there is still speculation that this price will increase even higher as Christmas approaches..

So yeah, the issue of hikes in food prices is also very common here in my country, and I believe same is happening in other countries of the world, though for a different reasons and also at different rates.

[Humblevirus]

In my country, I think the prices of foods items are increasing annually, and many people always complain of different reasons that courses the increase in foods items. Some people do complain that it is caused by weather because some crops don't have a balanced weather system, maybe too much rain in some crops or sufficient rain in some crops, and if it happens like that, many crops will fail. Again, many people also complain that it is because of the poor economy in their country that makes many things increase, especially foods items, because even in agriculture, the cost of production gets high.

I have read some hypothesis and the question is has inflation really decreased and is it really only 5% or 6% as announced by the government or is it actually much higher? So even though the government claims inflation is under very good control, but in reality it is not. And if your hypothesis is correct, retailers deliberately do not want to reduce prices, which further shows that there are group interests behind it. It seems that the market price management agency is deliberately turning a blind eye, allowing traders to manipulate prices, causing damage to consumers.

[Juse14]

In some areas that are quite low and quite flat, the irrigation system is indeed quite effective and yes, it can be done. But that's only a small part. Because most of the land here is difficult to implement an irrigation system because much of the land is at a height that makes it impossible to create an irrigation system. So most of the land here relies on the rainy season. Because some of the rivers here only leave very little water which will not be enough if it has to be channeled to residents' land.

There should be an initiative from the government to make dams or any catch basin based on the geographical location that you're at.

The government is the policy holder, so economic progress in a region or country is greatly influenced by the policies made and decided by the existing government.

Indeed, the highest policy makers in a democratic country are the people. However, it is still the government that determines and decides. And with existing technological advances it is not impossible for each region to advance its economy. And we can see for ourselves what is happening in certain areas, even though they have abundant natural resources and fertile soil, because they are unable to absorb existing technology, this makes them unable to properly manage the natural resources they have. Which is where it can cause the economy in the region to stagnate and there is no increase.

[Maslate]

You're talking like farmers are making a lot money, this is not true because most of farmers are not really rich, they're just middle or low class people.

Farmers always get pressured with agent who're used to buy all of their harvest to sellers who will sell it to customer. What I know the sellers are mostly make a lot money because they're taking more risk that would receive higher profit.

Food prices always increased, currently it's caused by climate change since the weather is really hot and rarely to rain.

I think that the events of recent years have had a negative impact on almost all countries, so it is not even necessary to ask in this forum whether food prices have risen in their countries. Coronavirus, dramatic global climate change, Russia's war in Ukraine, numerous cataclysms around the world lead to a sharp jump in inflation in all countries.

Agriculture due to climate change is now generally at high risk, farmers will suffer losses, so the situation with food will continue to worsen.

Yes, it's not that new anymore because these prices will always grow in almost every year that passes by and we certainly was not born yesterday to be surprised of this matter. In fact, let's brace ourselves already and prepare for what's coming next because what we're experiencing right now is not yet the end, prices will still increase and in every situation, there will be always businessmen who will hoard something to take control of something for their own benefit. I know it's unfortunate but that's the reality we're living in.

[EFS]

This is the biggest problem right now in my country. We have high inflation, everything is getting more expensive day by day but the increase in food prices is the most challenging situation for the people. We have other economic problems like house rents, electricity etc.
In general food prices are going up in the world but it hits harder for developing countries. I don't think this will change anytime soon.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

As long as there's inflation then ultimately know that food prices will automatically increases irrespective of where we are, also we should note this that inflation is not what we expect to end like that, it seems to be a continuous process with the economy because of the manipulations therein, that's why we can see alot of people always trying but seing less because they can't afford to cope with the rate inflation is dealing with commodity price in the market and food is one of the things we cannot live a day without, we are to handle this situation and never expect any change from government by giving it another approach on how we handle the economy.

[savetheFORUM]

In my country, groceries like bread, meat, milk, cheese, and eggs have increased causing hardship particularly for lower-income households and overall economies. One of the reasons I think this is happening is there have been disruptions in global food markets due to planting season disruptions. To cope with the rising cost, if it is not super essential, I do not buy it. I have cut down on bread and replaced it with fruits and vegetables. Eating out is now once per week with friends if it is so important. There are a lot of other stuff that I do to save money too.

That's the story of every lower and middle-class household these days, hardships have become a part of life due to the increasing inflation and the rates of unemployment. Those who earn a low income might still be able to survive in some way or another, but those who are facing the same situations and are also unemployed, how can they survive in an economic situation like this where the basic necessities cost a leg while they don't have a penny to spend?

Even those who earn a decent income are struggling due to the increasing rates of food and necessities because the money earned isn't enough to cover the costs of living and one becomes compelled to borrow money from here and there and that becomes another tension for the person as how they will pay that money back in such times.

Therefore, it would be always that wise that we should really be trying out to increase our source of income if we are really that minding about survival.We cant really just always whine up and tell on what

the government and those merchants been doing in speaking about market prices which whether they had jacked it up or not but most of the time or year by year on which it do always keeps on increasing and if you are that someone who do have that kind of fixed earning or salary on years passing then you would really be able to realize that the money you are earning wont really be sufficient for you to make yourself that able to survive on day to day living due to those non-stop increasing price. Other options? Just like been said that it would be always ideal on finding income source.
Dont make yourself just sit still and be relaxed because this is where usually people do get wrecked up.

Living on this world is never been fair or balance. This is why you would really be needing to act fast and wise so that you would really be able to sustain and survive.
You shouldnt really be that confident or really that get contented on what you are now. Always find the ways or options on which making yourself way more better.

I think that everything is known in comparison, and if, for example, a resident of Berlin says that he barely has enough for food, then he may mean that he does not buy expensive cheese, or half-cooked food from a restaurant to which he is used. While an African who says that he barely has enough for food will mean that he will refuse meat, and will have to not eat some vegetables, only porridge.
Therefore, we all suffer from inflation at this difficult time. In my country, everything has risen in price by about 25% over the past year and a half, and this is terrible, because wages at workplaces have changed only by 5%.
All of us should now be more careful with money, giving up excesses, try to take care of clothes and things.

[beerlover]

It is true that every region has significant food needs because each region is also able to produce significant food products, both in volume and in quality. For example, here in my country, each region is known for producing different food products, some are known for producing rice, and some for fish and other seafood. Such a thing is the reason why local trade happens, our region exports foods that are produced here to other regions while other regions do the same to our region. In most cases, locally exported products have higher prices, like in my area, seafood has higher prices while in the area where my mother lives rice and meat costs are higher. However, when inflation hit, it seemed as if it didn't matter what your area is rich in, all prices of food and necessities skyrocketed and what I usually spend for a month's worth of groceries is now being used to suffice 2 weeks' worth of food.

Yeah true for my country as well, every region has their own famous parts. When you pick one nation that may have a lot of meat, when you pick another it has a lot of vegetables, some plant trees, some go out to fish, some plant small stuff, some big huge land requiring stuff.

One thing we lack is wheat, which is the most common thing needed, but since it is not that profitable, and cheaper to just buy from other nations, not many do it, but that causes money going out of our nation, so I truly think government should have huge wheat lands, make a loss if you have to, but keep the money in the nation at least. Food fluctuates a lot depending on the economy, but it should not be that confusing in the end when economy becomes stable.

Yeah I know what is going on with agribusiness, usually, big companies buy the crop at the futures contract means that no matter how expensive the fertilizers and pesticides or what happens in the nature they set the price early so farmers will earn less.

Government and big companies should discuss about this and figure it out the solution

There are some also that kind of don't make the prices go up, like they will say to the farmers that this is really the price in the market, and again, the farmer has no choice because their crop can't be sold if they won't accept the price. Just imagine in the news and on social media a lot of farmers that will not accept the price of the buyer, so they tend to throw it out just to inform everyone that the price is too low. It is almost the same as not selling it as they can't get enough money. Famers are really in a difficult situation, so the government should control this.

This is true and is a problem in the country where I live, a lot of farmers are facing such a problem. For example, there are farmers who need to sell their crops to businessmen who will distribute or sell their crops to the city, and these businessmen will tell them such a low price that farmers will have no choice but to sell it at such ridiculous price or let their crops deteriorate or spoil, basically losing a lot of money. And with how much their tools and chemicals cost, they are losing more money than they are earning every day. So, I do agree with you that the government should take a look at this and do something about it. It is heartbreaking that farmers who are working to provide food for a whole nation are struggling to earn money they need to feed their own family.

Food prices that continue to increase are indeed very terrible and make it difficult for many middle to lower class people. And yes, all of this increase was caused by inflation in the first place. And currently everything is made worse by quite extreme climate change. Which makes things even more difficult. such as a long dry season that makes farmers unable to manage their land due to drought and lack of water availability. This triggers a local scale food crisis here. And food prices are getting higher every day. But fortunately, the government has apparently moved and will import food from abroad into my country. It is hoped that this will make prices gradually fall again.

.

The increase in the prices of food seems to be a universal challenge.  A good amount of money can no longer prepare a balanced meal.
While we are complaining of this challenges, let us also look for ways of solving this problem.

In my country, the agricultural sector has been neglected, the focus now is majorly on crude oil. Since subsidy on petrol price was removed, the price of every other good and service increased.
We do not need a soothsayer to tell us that it is time for us to embrace both subsistence and commercial agriculture.

True, at least it is considered an initial mitigai, but all the efforts made by the government, food organizations or whatever it is that reads this situation and cares about it are not strong enough to hold back the rate of demand for needs if this happens at any time and the buffer stock will run low on its own if it is not supported by the people themselves by starting to save the produce part of the harvest starting this year little by little (don't turn it all into money) means that there is an independent effort from the community and not completely dependent on government assistance.

I guess that this problem is almost on every country even on the first world countries. We're also suffering from the high inflation and we're dealing on it everyday. As much as I want to buy everything based on the set budget weekly, it doesn't cover everything anymore with our food that we're used to purchase. And those times were like our shopping carts were full but these days, it is no longer full anymore and it's not even half. A lot has changed from the pandemic and going with the war, up to oil price increases, it's not just so right anymore.

The increase in the prices of food seems to be a universal challenge.  A good amount of money can no longer prepare a balanced meal.
While we are complaining of this challenges, let us also look for ways of solving this problem.

I think this happens because of the huge disparity between developed and developing countries. Also because at this time the amount of money circulating around the world is very large so that it affects the economies of developing countries. For example, salaries in the US are far above the average salary of people in my country. This results in adjustments in food prices due to import-export relations. Goods become expensive because in exporting countries they have high wages, while developing countries that import processed food have to follow international prices.

[mich]

Well it is incredible how high food prices have increased in the last few years and only seem to keep going up. With these crazy food prices, one must resort to using coupons to save money when it comes to paying at checkout.
Another tip I recommend when going out to get some food is to look for the best deals for eating out. You will be surprised how many places you go try when you’re on a daily food budget.
And with the outrageous high cost of food, figure out with is your monthly budget like because this will also help manage your outlook on your spending and eliminate bad spending habits.
When you are spending recklessly will be surprised how these food prices all add up at the end of the day. I consider if I should truly spend on a meal that you can simply prepare at home and save the money for that day.

In my country, food prices have risen in price by an average of 40%, according to my estimate. There are products that have risen in price by 100%, such as fish and other seafood. I lived on the seashore on vacation in my country, and fish is more expensive than meat there. Bread and pasta prices have not risen much, but there is also a noticeable increase in prices for vegetables and fruits, despite the fact that now is the vegetable season.

So true. And it is clear that society and government must both work together to overcome this problem. And it is absolutely true that society cannot rely solely on the government to solve this problem. Personal contribution and awareness are also needed in this regard. But when farmers stock more of their crops. then the stock in the market will be depleted. And yeah, people who don't have agricultural land, they will definitely have a hard time with this. Because when market stock runs low, prices automatically increase. However, what farmers do in stocking their crops is also not a mistake. They stock the harvest for their own food supply. This problem is very complex. So the food crisis is indeed a problem that is sometimes not easy to overcome.

This is happening all around the world. Even the Europeans were suffering much out of the rise in the food price. NGO and social service communities have organised food/vegetables/fruits stalls in which people can go get there necessary things free of cost. This is being supplied on weekly based based on the availability of food/vegetables/fruits. Big number of people around Europe is fulfilling their food needs through these stalls. Hope scenario will change to the past days when people were able to fulfill their food requirements without spending much.

As someone who is involved in the world of agriculture because several of my family are farmers, I admit that every year farmers complain more and more about crop yields and selling prices that are no longer balanced. I mean the selling price of grain every year does not increase significantly, while the price of basic commodities every year increases little by little due to inflation. Or as my brother @uruhara said, reduced quantity and volume like the "Mie Sukses" you told us about.
During the harvest season, prices tend to fall. I think this needs government intervention to control prices. Or at least provide subsidies for fertilizers and pesticides so that farmers can still survive by selling their agricultural products at prices that seem stuck there every year.

Yeah I know what is going on with agribusiness, usually, big companies buy the crop at the futures contract means that no matter how expensive the fertilizers and pesticides or what happens in the nature they set the price early so farmers will earn less.

Government and big companies should discuss about this and figure it out the solution

There are some also that kind of don't make the prices go up, like they will say to the farmers that this is really the price in the market, and again, the farmer has no choice because their crop can't be sold if they won't accept the price. Just imagine in the news and on social media a lot of farmers that will not accept the price of the buyer, so they tend to throw it out just to inform everyone that the price is too low. It is almost the same as not selling it as they can't get enough money. Famers are really in a difficult situation, so the government should control this.

This is true and is a problem in the country where I live, a lot of farmers are facing such a problem. For example, there are farmers who need to sell their crops to businessmen who will distribute or sell their crops to the city, and these businessmen will tell them such a low price that farmers will have no choice but to sell it at such ridiculous price or let their crops deteriorate or spoil, basically losing a lot of money. And with how much their tools and chemicals cost, they are losing more money than they are earning every day. So, I do agree with you that the government should take a look at this and do something about it. It is heartbreaking that farmers who are working to provide food for a whole nation are struggling to earn money they need to feed their own family. 

Right now, I've seen a lot of farmers venturing to cities to work like construction workers because they can earn more and sometimes food is free if they have a good employer, and with that, they can earn on a daily basis, unlike when planting a crop, where they are not sure if they can earn a profit for a few months. It is really sad, and even for myself, I always buy at the farmers market and do not try to bargain because I see their struggle. They become the planter and also the seller because that is where they can earn a profit. I really do hope that even just a subsidy to them will greatly help them because if this does not stop or slow down, for sure, farmers won't plant and all of us will struggle.

[Smartgoat]

the increase of food stuff in my country is not something to write home about. for over 3 years now after the COVID. the price of food stuffs increase *2 of the initial price which is given the citizens problem to feed themselves. and the government of the country is not saying or doing anything about it.. I have a fear, if this continues like this, I wonder what will happen in this country.

[freedomgo]

You know it’s odd to see basic necessities if they have been decreasing their prices, surely their prices are bound to increase especially that inflation may be here for good. And food prices are certainly the most concern of the citizens today most particularly in my country where rice price has been extremely rising so bad. Good thing news came out lately that our head of the country has ordered a minimum price set for well-milled rice. Hopefully this will not be the last price adjustment for our food price.

[summonerrk]

This is the biggest problem right now in my country. We have high inflation, everything is getting more expensive day by day but the increase in food prices is the most challenging situation for the people. We have other economic problems like house rents, electricity etc.
In general food prices are going up in the world but it hits harder for developing countries. I don't think this will change anytime soon.

I think that everything is known in comparison, and if, for example, a resident of Berlin says that he barely has enough for food, then he may mean that he does not buy expensive cheese, or half-cooked food from a restaurant to which he is used. While an African who says that he barely has enough for food will mean that he will refuse meat, and will have to not eat some vegetables, only porridge.
Therefore, we all suffer from inflation at this difficult time. In my country, everything has risen in price by about 25% over the past year and a half, and this is terrible, because wages at workplaces have changed only by 5%.
All of us should now be more careful with money, giving up excesses, try to take care of clothes and things.

In my country, food prices have risen in price by an average of 40%, according to my estimate. There are products that have risen in price by 100%, such as fish and other seafood. I lived on the seashore on vacation in my country, and fish is more expensive than meat there. Bread and pasta prices have not risen much, but there is also a noticeable increase in prices for vegetables and fruits, despite the fact that now is the vegetable season.

I have found the answer to why some food products are very expensive, despite the fact that they are grown or mined in my own country.

The fact is that if potatoes are grown in your country, for example, and they are of very good quality, then the owners of the agricultural business will not sell it to you in the store cheap. Firstly, they will sell it for export abroad, where this product is not of such high quality. And they will deliver it to stores in their own country at a very expensive price. At the same time, there will be similar cheap goods in stores, but they will be of poor quality, most likely imported from another country. Where this product is not tasty and not so high-quality. In my country, this applies to potatoes, tomatoes, wood, flax and other products and materials.

And this is an sad situation created by the capitalist thinking of people.

I really hope that there will be more price adjustments. There is already food shortage to deal with, with the price of necessities going up I don't know how below minimum wage workers will be able to survive. I work an above minimum wage job but I still struggle to keep up with my budget and is barely saving any for my future and for investments. Hopefully, if more price adjustments happen we can all find a way to adjust and make most of our income.

I hope that there will be a gradual decrease in the price of people's basic goods, which are the foods that people really need on a daily basis. And as you said, I think we have the same country because right now the price of rice is really quite high. But our government is working on ways to ease the burden on consumers of prime commodities.

Then the increase in crude oil went hand in hand; what's happening right now is really bad. I'm also having trouble budgeting my money to fit it in because of the prices of the goods. Since there is nothing we can do to stop the love of goods, the only thing we really need is to think of or create another source of income to cover our daily expenses.

[terrific]

Everything starting from and after the covid has gone up. All services, all goods, all bills and necessities didn't escaped from the domino impact of that global problem that we've faced.

and the government of the country is not saying or doing anything about it.. I have a fear, if this continues like this, I wonder what will happen in this country.

Many will flee and move to another country if your countrymen can no longer take the heat of inflation and increase for the cost of everything. While only the rich people can only enjoy everything during this problem, it's sad that small people and those that are in the poverty threshold are the ones that will have to suffer.

Everything does, in fact, get more expensive, whether it's the cost of basic necessities or the challenges of sticking to a budget. The unstable character of fiat economies is highlighted by the current scenario. Ever considered using Bitcoin as a hedge? The decentralized economy provides some protection from the usual market fluctuations. Despite its swings, Bitcoin offers a fascinating option to hold money due to its deflationary nature

And keep in mind that, despite their best efforts, governments have little control over factors affecting the global economy, such as increases in the price of crude oil. Perhaps switching a portion of your financial holdings to Bitcoin could offer a different source of income? As you correctly pointed out, finding additional sources of income is essential; looking into investing in Bitcoin would be a good idea

[bhadz]

I guess that this problem is almost on every country even on the first world countries. We're also suffering from the high inflation and we're dealing on it everyday. As much as I want to buy everything based on the set budget weekly, it doesn't cover everything anymore with our food that we're used to purchase. And those times were like our shopping carts were full but these days, it is no longer full anymore and it's not even half. A lot has changed from the pandemic and going with the war, up to oil price increases, it's not just so right anymore.

There have been those type of activities and pantry's in my country before and during the time of covid, there are still some of it but no longer taken into the media because of how price of everything is rising up. I also hope that this will really change everything and things will be back neutrally. If it's not for these big sources of our needs, coming from oil, ingredients and other food sources, things won't be up. There should be a consensus globally in ending this inflation but no way, some one or some groups are taking the benefits of this so they won't allow that to happen.

[|MINER|]

Commodity prices have increased in every country. Ours country is no exception.  In my country too, the price of everything, especially the price of food products, has increased a lot. And it has almost doubled. After the corona epidemic, the price of goods started to increase, then the war between Russia and Ukraine has increased the price of everything.  Depreciation of money is also one of the reasons. Again, the whole world is not going towards the Great Depression, is it?

Basically, the root of the country's economic problems is inflation, which causes prices to rise. This is where the role of a country is to overcome this challenge. I am sure the government in your country has done something to overcome it, perhaps currently it is not effective in overcoming it.

Price rises and falls definitely occur due to several factors, such as natural, technical and non-technical factors that we cannot predict when they come and go, as you said, Covid three years ago was an unexpected problem. Therefore, we as citizens must be ready to face and adapt to the existing situation until everything returns to stability, in this case it must be accompanied by government assistance. It seems there is no need to panic, because in the next few years the food situation will be fine, feeling worried is normal but the solution to the problem is more important.

We are heading there but dont rush because it would be on gradual process. Isnt it? 

Sad to say but its really that inevitable on avoiding on something which cant really be avoided and this is why instead on whining and stressing up yourself even more then it would be more ideal that you should
be finding ways or methods on making yourself able to survive which is on having that more income source so that you wont really be having some problems on the time that the economic situations gotten more
worst on which it is really that something that you should prioritize on trying out to build or establish while things arent really that still bad.

Everything is really that increasing, we arent that blind with those numbers on which trying out to compare those prices 20 years ago is never been the same
on what we do have now on which it would really be just that normal or something a normal approach on having other income source.

[Fortify]

Since August in my country, the price of food, especially food staples such as wheat, rice and others, has experienced a very high price increase. This was apparently caused by the ongoing drought. Which makes several areas of plantations and rice fields fail to harvest due to lack of availability of water to water the plants. And this makes food stocks in the market start to run low from time to time. And yes, the price hike ensued. Rice prices here have even increased by around 9-10 percent in the last month in my area. And I'm afraid the increase will continue. Because many residents are starting to talk that if the drought continues longer then it is feared that the increase will occur higher and faster. For farmers, it can be said that currently they are getting big profits because they can sell agricultural products at high prices. but for ordinary citizens who do not have agricultural land, the current food prices really make them tight.

The residents' economic sector has actually begun to recover and improve in the past few months. But because at this time there was another spike in prices again, it made the people around me start to complain again about the current economy.

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

It seems like food prices have shot up all over the world, there's even a distinction between the cheapest food and eating out. Prices in shops have gone up for the most basic ingredients like bread, milk, fruit and veg. What I noticed the other day, which is admittedly a luxury for some, but prices have also gone up in restaurants quite substantially - maybe even 50-100% just in the space of a couple years. It's a bit of a dangerous spiral, because unless it steadies you can end up with ever increasingly inflation which many people in developed countries have not experienced before. It makes it very hard to gauge good prices and hopefully things like an acceptable resolution to the Ukraine war will take a bit of pressure off.

[Yatsan]

Most of us are affected for sure it is just salary varies in each country which lessen and strengthen how we would be affected by it.

Hopefully, if more price adjustments happen we can all find a way to adjust and make most of our income.

I though I was the only one thibking that the number of population has something to do with the increase in marketable goods. There is now a shortage with resources simply because population keeps on growing, not to mention capitalism, corruption, and regulations in world trade industry, which adds with the burden. Agricultural resources may indeed be supported to lower the ceiling of our daily needs but problem is with regulation; both producers and consumers are struggling which is an obvioys proof that there is something wrong happening especially with third world countries.

Am I the only one perplexed by the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on food prices in my country? Thus far, there hasn't been a significant price surge attributable to the conflict between these two nations.

While vegetable and spice prices have seen an increase, the logical explanation is an extended drought that has hindered farmers from achieving optimal yields. As for other animal-derived necessities like milk, eggs, and meat, they have remained relatively stable.

However, I've also been keeping an eye on global news, where in other countries, the prices of corn and legumes have skyrocketed, with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict cited as the cause. Does this conflict only affect select nations?

The increase of the price of food is as a result of many factors from longtime ago, it is just getting worse as the days goes by, the increase of the price of food is now a serious problem for low and middle class people. I think this increase in price of food started during the time if the pandemic and nothing was done then to stabilize the price and other economic problems after pandemic has also contributed to the price of food till this moment.  This is a serious problem that seems so difficult for the government to help about costly price of food .

In my country the price of everything is increasing just because of inflation, I mean it's a problem all over the world and a lot of countries cannot solve this problem. But this time it getting really noticeable to the point where my 500Pesos could not every a whole cart, I remember back in the day when 500 pesos worth of groceries was already too many and I could already use it to fit a whole cart, but now 500pesos worth of groceries is just 3-6items of groceries. If I get everything normally it would not cost around 3000Pesos worth of groceries. I mean it's a big problem for sure even the price of rice in my country is a big problem, it just continues to increase its price, and the export of rice is already increasing to the point where local farmers' rice is going to cost more than the import one. Which is a bad thing for the economy of my country.

In my opinion, these things are just inevitable and we cant really do anything about it what we can do is adjust that, What I think people really need here in multiple sources of income, I've realized the importance of having multiple sources of income and having that is wants going to make you successful.

Kabayan, it's really noticeable especially if you're the one who's doing the groceries. Like me, I'm always on a weekly budget for my groceries and the inflation is really hitting my pockets deeply because price has always been increasing. Usually, my family's groceries are just around 1500 pesos or typically $30 or so and that's already a lot before. But this time, truly a lot changed and those are just like a few items that you can count on. It's hard to deal with this inflation and we're hoping that our government will be able to do something to lessen the prices and still won't hurt the business sector just as the consumers.

Here in our country, products are very expensive,  what used to be a kilo of chicken here was 3 dollars per kilo before, now it is 3.7 dollars in the market or grocery, and the price of vegetables has also increased. All consumers are price-sensitive. As time passes, the price of goods always goes up and never goes down. So it will be very difficult to survive if we don't find a way to find another way to earn money. There can't be only one source of income,  instead, we should have at least three sources of income so that we can somehow survive.

Like your country, our country also has the same situation. The price has increased a lot. Prices of everything are sky high.Prices have increased very little in your country. If the price of chicken has increased from 3 dollars to 3.7 dollars, then your inflation is still low compared to our country.In our country, the value of the dollar has also become very high,and the value of our currency against the dollar is falling day by day.

The main reason for this is that there is instability in our country - our military is not allowing any political government to function, and it is trying to run its own decisions and systems, which has led to a lot of insecurity and misery in the country.The price of each product has increased three to four times compared to a few years ago. If something was worth $10, it is now worth more than $30. The prices of all the daily necessities have gone up so much that a common man is having a very difficult time. Electricity has become so expensive that people are paying the bills by selling household items. In these circumstances, it is very difficult to find another source of income, because the economic condition of the country is very bad.

[Negotiation]

Over the past few years there has been a lot of discontent over the rise in food prices and in recent months low and middle income people are struggling to cope with the increase in the price of daily essential food products. Prices of rice and pulses are high and food inflation has increased due to increase in fuel and fertilizer prices as well as increased supply of several commodities in the global market. Climate change has also had a significant impact resulting in extreme droughts and unprecedented floods in Europe in recent months. Inflation will pick up again by the end of this year and may be around 5 percent in december and the price of processed food can reach the highest level.

We are also experiencing similar scenario in my country too, though the high inflation rate could be attributed to increase in the price of Petroleum products eg petrol, Diesel and Gas following the removal of fuel subsidy by the new government consequently resulted to high cost of food stuffs especially the staple food such as rice, bread etc, manufacturers of food products are not left out because of high cost of production, in a related development with regard to the high cost of rice in my country was linked to insecurity in some farm after some farmers complained of kidnapping by some bandits who usually collect ransom before they are released thus prompted alot of them to quit farming.

I cannot believe that such a thing can actually happen. It seems like it was just possible in the movies or stories we tell our kids about bandits who collects ransoms and kidnaps farmers for money, however it really is happening in real life and is affecting our source of food as it obviously causes fear for farmers, so much so that they are willing to give their source of living.

This condition of increasing prices of goods has also led to an increase in transportation costs in all aspects so that it is time for daily workers or laborers to ask their bosses for a salary increase. Because without an increase in salary for the work they do, it will be quite difficult for them to face the increase in prices of goods in life and besides that looking for another job is also not so easy now so everyone has to focus more on the amount of income from their main job even though looking for additional work too be the best option in current conditions.

Here in India, ever since the NDA government came to power food prices had remained under control. However, for the last few months the prices of vegetables have shot up. Tomato used to cost $0.30 to $0.50 per kg, but the prices suddenly went up to $2.50 per kg. The government response was very lax, and therefore the hoarders got opportunity to indulge in black-marketing. And it is not just tomato. The price of other vegetables, as well as that of other staples such as wheat flour, sunflower oil and sugar has also gone up. 

I am a citizen of Bangladesh where food prices are increasing so much that it is becoming very difficult for middle class family members to eat three meals properly. On paper and in calculations the unemployment rate in this country is only 4.70% which does not seem very high. But here a person's monthly salary is $60-$600. a typical job earner earns only $60-$200 whereas a small household costs $200-$300+ a month to run. Beef is priced at $6.5 per kg, mutton at $7.8 per kg, and good rice prices are around $1+ per kg. It is very difficult to eat three meals properly with the income here

The same in my country, the poorest of the poor and as well as the middle class are having hard time dealing with the food prices now. At least for the middle class family, they're much better in state than of the poorest of the poor and a bit higher than of those.
Well, like your country, our country is a rice eating country and that's our staple food. But the problem lies with our food security so, the prices have gone higher and there's no solution yet that's being done but yet proposed and taken action like importing more rice and other food necessities. But I don't think that will eradicate the problem as there are a lot of hoarders and cartels that have been stocking rice. And the same with the salary of an average person coming from below minimum up to average, it's truly hard to budget that but we're great on this one which is a sad thing if we'll try to understand the situation.

[leonair]

Here in India, ever since the NDA government came to power food prices had remained under control. However, for the last few months the prices of vegetables have shot up. Tomato used to cost $0.30 to $0.50 per kg, but the prices suddenly went up to $2.50 per kg. The government response was very lax, and therefore the hoarders got opportunity to indulge in black-marketing. And it is not just tomato. The price of other vegetables, as well as that of other staples such as wheat flour, sunflower oil and sugar has also gone up. 

I am a citizen of Bangladesh where food prices are increasing so much that it is becoming very difficult for middle class family members to eat three meals properly. On paper and in calculations the unemployment rate in this country is only 4.70% which does not seem very high. But here a person's monthly salary is $60-$600. a typical job earner earns only $60-$200 whereas a small household costs $200-$300+ a month to run. Beef is priced at $6.5 per kg, mutton at $7.8 per kg, and good rice prices are around $1+ per kg. It is very difficult to eat three meals properly with the income here

Such a situation prevails in most countries of the world. Food, gas, electricity are increasing at such a rate that they are now beyond the reach of people. The government is working hard to overcome these crises but the market is booming as the production rate is low and the consumer volume is high. Day by day the population is increasing in every country because the birth rate is higher than the death  rate.  And because of this, the land is slowly decreasing to provide housing for everyone, due to which the production is decreasing.  And the price of food products is constantly increasing

[8rch7]

Currently, it is quite difficult moment to face several price increases for basic necessities ranging from food, education, even all household necessities have experienced quite drastic price increases. However, on the one hand, the income or salary we get has not increased at all and difficult situations have made us smarter in managing our finances so that they remain stable and sufficient to meet our daily needs. Its have been happened in my country last several months, we are facing difficult situation with one position have more expenditure than our income from working. Our government can't working well how to manage with food or rice keep in the stable price and they are not serious how to make their people earn much expenditure based on current economic condition.

[Lida93]

Here in our country, products are very expensive,  what used to be a kilo of chicken here was 3 dollars per kilo before, now it is 3.7 dollars in the market or grocery, and the price of vegetables has also increased. All consumers are price-sensitive. As time passes, the price of goods always goes up and never goes down. So it will be very difficult to survive if we don't find a way to find another way to earn money. There can't be only one source of income,  instead, we should have at least three sources of income so that we can somehow survive.

This condition of increasing prices of goods has also led to an increase in transportation costs in all aspects so that it is time for daily workers or laborers to ask their bosses for a salary increase. Because without an increase in salary for the work they do, it will be quite difficult for them to face the increase in prices of goods in life and besides that looking for another job is also not so easy now so everyone has to focus more on the amount of income from their main job even though looking for additional work too be the best option in current conditions.

I use to bethink of these high cost of goods and services as something that is residual only in my country and those of our neighbouring countries but reading comments of other members giving account of the state of price of goods and services in their own countries I now understand that it's a general economic crisis faced in all parts of the globe. Just that the severity of the conditions of things differs.

In my country we are not only battling with high costs of foodstuffs in the market but with insecurity razed by the insurgency emerging out of agitation for self-determination by some groups in the country  and with the increased in PMS months again ago it has compounded the situation severely that those that are still able to afford 3 square healthy meal a day are very few. And it got me wondering where the world is heading to 

[m2017]

~snip

Increasing prices for goods and services is a completely normal phenomenon. More money is printed, which means its purchasing power falls, which is expressed in inflation. It’s time to get used to this in a world of money with endless emission.

Any problems in agriculture or food production will directly affect the increase in prices if it creates a shortage. Such is the market: less supply - more demand - higher prices.

In my country, prices have increased over the last month (increasing a little every month), as well as utilities (a noticeable increase over a long period of time)).

People will always complain about the current economy. It's unavoidable.

This is not the only case in your country. This is my answer, if it makes you feel better about your country's economy.

[Antotena]

Over the past few years there has been a lot of discontent over the rise in food prices and in recent months low and middle income people are struggling to cope with the increase in the price of daily essential food products. Prices of rice and pulses are high and food inflation has increased due to increase in fuel and fertilizer prices as well as increased supply of several commodities in the global market. Climate change has also had a significant impact resulting in extreme droughts and unprecedented floods in Europe in recent months. Inflation will pick up again by the end of this year and may be around 5 percent in december and the price of processed food can reach the highest level.

What worries me more is what fast food are doing. They have increased the price of their menu and reduced quantity. I thought the increase price was supposed to compensate for the general rise of things but cutting down quantity and quality is a red flag. If people are ready to adjust to price hike, then we should have something flood enough to make the stomach satisfied, nothing good in spending money with out satisfaction.

With the way price of food has increased, people has forgone many alternative but I hope government can as well increased minimum wages, my country needs it because the wages and salary they pay is way below what can satisfy ordinary man.

When we talk about buying some cheap products especially during there harvest seasons, the question is always about preservation.
Still, people associate quality to price as you often don’t find the best quality cheap and this have driven the price of certain products to an insane price. It’s a sad reality but, we often play by these rules eventually.

It's true that normally cheap products are of worse quality too, but it's not always like that. Especially during harvest seasons you can buy a very good quality food for a cheap price. You just have to be careful when buying food. No need to eat food of a bad quality because you are poor. On small local markets there's almost always something similar to what you can find only in gourmet stores in Zurich only it costs 10-20 times cheaper.

The increase in fast food prices is also due to the increase in food ingredients, so this is very influential because it is impossible for companies not to make a profit there.
The increase in food supplies is almost the same throughout the world because it affects inflation, currency depreciation and also several other factors that cannot be avoided even for agricultural countries.
And increasing minimum wages and purchasing prices for farmers has an influence on the government of a country and it depends on the policy of a country to do so.

If you are residing near the country side, then there is a farmers market where you can buy cheap and fresh goods, but if you are in the metro area, that is really the problem, as everything is expensive and there are times that the cheap is of bad quality, but others are also when it is too late in the night and only a few people are buying fresh foods, and others tend to lower their price so that their goods are already sold and they can go home.

It is really lucky if you have a backyard or an open area where you can make it a garden and plant foods in there because it can save you money, you can use it, it is fresh, and for sure it is safe as it is all organic and no pesticide was sprayed on it.

Food prices are rising due to the effects of many uncertainties, and it is happening all over the world. But there are different levels of impact because each country's income is not the same. I think raising wages is not easy because it means the Government has to print more money while imports and exports remain unchanged, which causes inflation to get out of control. I think the government has a reason not to raise wages suddenly and only because of rising prices.

[STT]

Food prices will increase inline with oil pretty much, that would be one of the easiest ways to tell inflation in pricing is likely to continue.  Also fertilizer is another price to follow for cost of production but as I understand it food prices are rising because cost to produce is rising.  Generally the world is demanding more refined foods and a greater amount of meat means more demand for food to feed live stock, enough factors for prices to rise over a decade and thats what I expect.

[Bd officer]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

We are in the same situation as your country. Our country is a seasonal country, there are different types of crops in this country. However, due to excessive drought this year, crop production has not been good. Food prices have increased tremendously in the present time. Where I live a day laborer can earn $5 a day. 1 kg of onion is about $0.80, 2 kg of rice is about $2, 1 kg of fish is about $1.5, vegetables etc. are about $2. Even if a day laborer earns $5, it is very difficult to buy a day's worth of food with that money. Most of the middle class families live in our country. In the present time in our country the rising cost of goods has made it difficult for the middle class poor families to live.

If the price is already expensive outside of fast food, then the product inside fast food chains is even more expensive. Because the ingredients they buy outside or at the grocery store are already expensive. That's why now I don't eat much fast food because I know that the price has increased.

Even if we say that we are ready to adjust to the price increases, we will still have difficulties, and it will really hurt our pockets. It is still difficult to budget if our daily or weekly income is correct. this. So the only real solution in these situations is to find or add another source of income so that we can still have extra money somehow.

[BitcoinTurk]

Although the inflation rate has increased abnormally in some countries recently, we observe that there is an increase in prices in all countries of the world especially in food products. If I need to comment on the region I live in although the inflation rate announced here is shown as low but there are serious price increases in many food products. Basic food products have generally increased at an abnormal rate of 50% and this rate has reached much higher levels in some products. In the same way I wonder if this is the case in many other countries whose inflation rate is not declared as very high.

I wonder how long these increases will continue especially considering the fact that there has been a very serious increase in the last two years in the country where I live. As I see that I pay more for the same or similar products with each grocery purchase it becomes very difficult to predict how long this situation can continue.

[Mame89]

Here in our country, products are very expensive,  what used to be a kilo of chicken here was 3 dollars per kilo before, now it is 3.7 dollars in the market or grocery, and the price of vegetables has also increased. All consumers are price-sensitive. As time passes, the price of goods always goes up and never goes down. So it will be very difficult to survive if we don't find a way to find another way to earn money. There can't be only one source of income,  instead, we should have at least three sources of income so that we can somehow survive.

This increase in food prices has certainly hit the middle and lower classes, especially those with low salaries, and this has made us all aware to be careful in spending money. It's very true as you said, just one income is not enough, we have to look for additional income, we have to be able to make money from other businesses, not just from salaries as employees.

Maybe one of them is that we can earn extra money by investing, if we have mastered it. That's where maybe we can be helped by starting to instill minimalist living. So you no longer buy things you don't need, and the funds you usually use for shopping don't need to be allocated to additional funds for daily needs. In conditions like these, we have to be smart and have to become more skilled in managing finances, especially we have to learn about investing.

After the Covid-19 outbreak, the economic crisis has increased in my country, namely Indonesia, until now economic inflation cannot be avoided, where the price of food needs has increased so sharply that it has had a huge impact on the lower middle class, even though the government has made recovery efforts.  through community welfare assistance programs, namely BLT and other social assistance, but this seems to be in vain because food needs are increasing while monthly income or wages do not support it at all because they do not increase, perhaps this is the main cause of inflation, for example food prices  such as eggs increasing from 45 thousand to 55-58 thousand per kilogram, not to mention rice from 18 thousand to 22-25 thousand per kilogram, and many other types of food also increased,

And here in my country work is being done to increase the excise duty for petroleum products! Of course, this will affect the prices of all products and services... Inflation is unstoppable for now, and many steps taken by the state are counterproductive. In the meantime, some chain stores and some companies are recording a growth of +150%... compared to last year, and a much higher growth compared to two years ago. While people still work for $2 per hour, min wage.

The same problem is what we are facing down here in Nigeria, after the removal of fuel subsidy, which led to the hike of petroleum product. The cost of food price has never been stable,it increases evey week and it has made every other commodities to increase in price. Inflation is really a big problem to my country economy and the new government doesn't have any strategy that they can use to combat the situation. The poor are suffering more and the middle class, because those that are working for the government salaries is depreciating and no increment from the government, enable them coupe with it.

Or simply which needs or everyday consumable and services or simply with the food you are putting on your table do keeps increasing but the salary that you do have in your job is really just that stabilize on which there's really no balance and if you do find yourself that relying into government actions then you would really be finding yourself later on on getting fucked up because you had been hoping that they will really be making up solutions into these problems. I do disagree into those points about blaming the government overall or they havent done something but we know that there are commodities which price cant really be that controlled specially if it would really be varying or basing up on market prices on which if it turns out to be the default price or value then government wont really be able to do such thing with those numbers. This is why i do really disagree sometimes on rants of people who do always pointing out on the government but we cant really be able to deny that controlling prices or having that kind of monitoring is really that part of their jobs or functions
knowing that there are certain areas which had been overlooked and been ignored which it did basically be the way that its getting abused on some common food prices which it should really be that be watched for the benefit of many.

It seems that in your country the conditions are much more worrying than in my country. I hope everything gets better soon. Although it is currently not visible to the naked eye in which direction the improvements will start. In my own country, currently the price of rice, which is the biggest staple food in this country, has again increased by more than around 5-10% in a month. Each region has different prices regarding the increase that occurs. But that's what happened in my area. This made everyone even more worried. And but the trigger for the increase in food prices in my country at the moment, apart from being triggered by the increase in fuel prices, is also influenced by the hot weather or the ongoing summer season.

The inflation that occurs has indeed disturbed the balance of people's income. Because the salary received does not follow the increase in market prices. So $10 dollars in the last month can get 10 specific products. But this month $10 dollars will only get you 8 specific products. That's the big picture. Fuel oil is indeed one of the main triggers for the increase. Because all of this is related to production and transportation costs.

I also live in Indonesia, I know we are in the economic crisis since the pandemic happening. Yes, our government already made some efforts, but I don't think they made effective solutions. BLT is the example of a useless effort, it is just an instant money given by the government. Since the number of money is rather small, it sometimes only last few days. Even in certain cases, some people who got the BLT program spend all the money in a day. I think it is much better if the government provide the jobs for the people. When the people get regular jobs, they can get the money themselves. They can get the foods with their own efforts.

when I see BLT recipients they don't use it according to their needs, most of them actually use it for consumptive needs, and this clearly doesn't help much to reduce the suffering resulting from the economic crisis. I think that the government and society are not in sync in conveying their intentions, but currently society seems to be forced to be friendly with the increase in basic prices in particular, until now the concern is the increase in the price of rice which is our staple food, hopefully we will all always be given health so that we can work to fulfill our daily needs, because the long dry season has made many people sick at this time

This really made me sad and pissed at that time. If the business is striving, the business owner should also compensate their employees and not just say that it is already a minimum wage because right now it is not enough. I have also seen many new stores opening in my area which is a sign that many investors and business owners want to build their businesses but still the average salary needs to be higher.

We can't blame anyone for this situation we just do our best to find another extra income to cope with inflation. No matter how we mock the government and other people it will still be the same and we are just wasting our efforts, it is better to put that effort into action so that we don't starve.

[fruktik]

You and I have very similar situations, almost exactly the same. But in my country there are no subsidies for fuel. Prices still rise almost every week due to inflation risks. You don’t even have time to hold money in your hands, since so much is spent on food. I even had to look for an additional source of income in order to somehow improve my financial situation. If things continue like this, I don’t know how I’ll survive.

[benalexis12]

Right now, it's not just food that has gone up, but fuel per liter has gone up again here. It seems like it's not enough to tell drivers not to drive cars so that they won't be affected by expensive fuel. Then, when it comes to food, it's enough to say that we people don't eat because of the price of the goods. But it's true what some say here: we need to find another way to earn money, not just one that knows how to budget but also one that increases the source of income apart from the job that we have.

[retreat]

That also happened in my country, but only in a few areas and it caused inflation of several percent nationally. Luckily in my area we don't experience drought, so food prices here are still maintained and people can still buy food affordably.
But the government's plan here is to distribute basic commodities from areas that are not affected by the drought to areas that are affected in order to reduce the effects of inflation, because with assistance from the government, distribution of basic commodities should be possible and that might help the people affected by the drought a little.

The only solution to overcome various economic problems such as rising prices or inflation and the like currently must be to have additional income. Although currently you can actually earn additional income from home, such as becoming a content creator or other online business. It's just that building an online business is not as easy as you imagine. This requires quite a long time and process. But it's worth fighting for. Meanwhile, finding additional work in physical work at this time I think is not easy. Due to current conditions, even the world of trading on the physical market is increasingly difficult. Because customers currently prefer shopping via online media.
And another condition is that the time we spend in our main job sometimes makes it difficult for us to find free time to use to find additional income.

But I have a feeling that the economy will at least recover a little from now on, even if it is slowly. At least that's my estimate in the country where I currently work. But I don't know the conditions in other countries which definitely have different situations and conditions.

After the Covid-19 outbreak, the economic crisis has increased in my country, namely Indonesia, until now economic inflation cannot be avoided, where the price of food needs has increased so sharply that it has had a huge impact on the lower middle class, even though the government has made recovery efforts.  through community welfare assistance programs, namely BLT and other social assistance, but this seems to be in vain because food needs are increasing while monthly income or wages do not support it at all because they do not increase, perhaps this is the main cause of inflation, for example food prices  such as eggs increasing from 45 thousand to 55-58 thousand per kilogram, not to mention rice from 18 thousand to 22-25 thousand per kilogram, and many other types of food also increased,

I also live in Indonesia, I know we are in the economic crisis since the pandemic happening. Yes, our government already made some efforts, but I don't think they made effective solutions. BLT is the example of a useless effort, it is just an instant money given by the government. Since the number of money is rather small, it sometimes only last few days. Even in certain cases, some people who got the BLT program spend all the money in a day. I think it is much better if the government provide the jobs for the people. When the people get regular jobs, they can get the money themselves. They can get the foods with their own efforts.

when I see BLT recipients they don't use it according to their needs, most of them actually use it for consumptive needs, and this clearly doesn't help much to reduce the suffering resulting from the economic crisis. I think that the government and society are not in sync in conveying their intentions, but currently society seems to be forced to be friendly with the increase in basic prices in particular, until now the concern is the increase in the price of rice which is our staple food, hopefully we will all always be given health so that we can work to fulfill our daily needs, because the long dry season has made many people sick at this time

It is difficult for small communities to reject the Government's decision to increase fuel costs, even though it is stated that there are wrong targets, deviations including gratification (corruption) must be sanctioned, and the Government must be responsible, not the people who are victims.

BLT is indeed good for helping small people, but BLT both adds to the burden on the APBN deficit, and many BLTs are also misdirected, the sanctions are not just being told to return them, that is Corruption, and is prone to Corruption. The lower class is resigned, even though they are given BLT, if subsidized fuel goes up, the price of everything goes up, it will still be a burden on the little people. I also agree that BLT is not effective in solving this problem. The government should increase labor wages and employee wages.

Here in India the prices are at all time high of some items, Buying from my local grocery store helped me to save money, because in mall we see big packets of things which are more than we need and buy 2 get 1 free like offers, which causes over spending so, I decided to buy only what i want from my local shop, most of the products in malls are expensive than my local grocery store.

More offers will give us the opportunity to buy more, or buy things we don't really need.
Since there are several discount offers, we take them and find ourselves spending more.

I live in Indonesia and all the basic necessities have gone up, At the mall or supermarket it's usually cheaper or just a little different from the local grocery store.
Those from the grocery store also buy from the mall for resale.

The salaries of employees in some parts of Indonesia remain unincreased, while the staples have all gone up.
This will lead to economic inequality because the minimum wage is not evenly distributed and adjusted to the increase in staples.

This will lead to economic inequality because the minimum wage is not evenly distributed and adjusted to the increase in staples.

In every country in this world, Only the strong will survive. We have to work hard and work smart to achieve our prosperity, the prices of basic commodities are rising, we are confused about how else to buy them, prices are getting more expensive, even though we are also among people who cannot afford it because there is economic inequality in several areas.

I also come from the same country as you. This economic inequality must always be discussed, before it gets worse. The problem is that in developed countries now the situation is very bad, many people cannot buy a house, eat from donations, some even cannot eat for days because their basic necessities have increased. Actually, this theory is easy if the government wants to overcome it by increasing the income of the Indonesian population. The method is industrialization, increasing employment opportunities by making it easier for foreign and local investors to create businesses, creating local entrepreneurs, intensive vocational education. Maybe this is what we should focus on first, while the government improves the quality of agriculture from east-west, improves the quality of farmer labor, improves national food sovereignty.

This problem is getting out of hand over here, it's very hard to save some money after getting your salary every month, you either spend it all on food or split it into food and house rent bills, it's getting out of hand for real, now I only eat twice daily, that's breakfast and supper, it used to be three foods per day around the clock but now, even food can turn you into a debtor if you are not careful, I don't think this is the same thing with many other countries because the situation of every countries divers from others. All we can hope for are better days and a better country, those who can't cope with the situation are traveling out of the country and I don't blame them.

You're talking of the reality that regardless of where you're living, the food prices really had gone too high.
I don't know the government can control all of these but it's a matter now that we're actually on our own and just survive in the wild.
I guess if the OPEC will start to do their own thing, the entire world reacts and whoever controls oil, controls the entire world and they can dictate prices of theirs for the commodities as it gives domino effect.

[Fortify]

Since August in my country, the price of food, especially food staples such as wheat, rice and others, has experienced a very high price increase. This was apparently caused by the ongoing drought. Which makes several areas of plantations and rice fields fail to harvest due to lack of availability of water to water the plants. And this makes food stocks in the market start to run low from time to time. And yes, the price hike ensued. Rice prices here have even increased by around 9-10 percent in the last month in my area. And I'm afraid the increase will continue. Because many residents are starting to talk that if the drought continues longer then it is feared that the increase will occur higher and faster. For farmers, it can be said that currently they are getting big profits because they can sell agricultural products at high prices. but for ordinary citizens who do not have agricultural land, the current food prices really make them tight.

The residents' economic sector has actually begun to recover and improve in the past few months. But because at this time there was another spike in prices again, it made the people around me start to complain again about the current economy.

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

Almost everything has been going up in my country for the last year - fuel, clothes, rent, etc. Of course, except salaries which have increased but nowhere near the same rate. It seems to be a worldwide problem with inflation right now and some countries are handling it better than others. Luckily in the last 2-3 months it feels like it has slowed back down again, especially when the government starts to take action against certain companies which are blatantly trying to price gouge at the expensive of the average person. Unfortunately it has never been a better time for monopolies to abuse their positions by raising prices and there are more of those around than ever.

Thats how life is just too damn hard and majority of us is already thinking up those partitions even we arent still able to get a hold of our salary on which those amounts are already divided or already bound to have those allocations when it comes to budgeting on which it is really just that hard to make out some adjustments if prices of goods and services do continue to rise which it would really be leading into those struggles on the time that you do recieve your salary and this is indeed fact the reality that we are facing which it is really that too damn hard. This is why it would be wise that you should be finding ways for having an additional income specially if you do have mouths to feed or even being a single would already be a challenge on sustaining yourself. Food prices here in our country does have that nonstop movement when it comes to price on which as a citizen then there's nothing you can do but to blend and go along with it and if you dont really be finding ways on increasing your income then expect that there would really be shortage on your budget which it would really be affecting your living. Not everything would really be blamed out on the government because there are really things which cant be controlled specially that inflation that we are all experiencing excluding into those countries
who do have less to none.

[letteredhub]

Food prices will increase inline with oil pretty much, that would be one of the easiest ways to tell inflation in pricing is likely to continue.  Also fertilizer is another price to follow for cost of production but as I understand it food prices are rising because cost to produce is rising.  Generally the world is demanding more refined foods and a greater amount of meat means more demand for food to feed live stock, enough factors for prices to rise over a decade and thats what I expect.

And here in my country work is being done to increase the excise duty for petroleum products! Of course, this will affect the prices of all products and services... Inflation is unstoppable for now, and many steps taken by the state are counterproductive. In the meantime, some chain stores and some companies are recording a growth of +150%... compared to last year, and a much higher growth compared to two years ago. While people still work for $2 per hour, min wage.

The same problem is what we are facing down here in Nigeria, after the removal of fuel subsidy, which led to the hike of petroleum product. The cost of food price has never been stable,it increases evey week and it has made every other commodities to increase in price. Inflation is really a big problem to my country economy and the new government doesn't have any strategy that they can use to combat the situation. The poor are suffering more and the middle class, because those that are working for the government salaries is depreciating and no increment from the government, enable them coupe with it.

The case of Nigeria in this inflation saga is a peculiar one, peculiar in in the sense that the economy it is surrounded by a people in government that knows the solution to the economic downturn facing the country but decides to pay lips service to it. The government have practically refused to diversify the country's economy focusing and depending mainly on crude oil production for the sustainability of all sectors of the economy.
In the 50s, 60s and 70s Nigeria was well known for her agricultural productivity in all region's of the country there were groundnuts pyramid in the North , cocoa in the West and palm oil and fish production booming in exportable quantities but today all these are history. The agricultural produce are not sufficient to feed the citizens talk more of exporting, because the government has put all it's attention to crude oil since from the late part of the 70s when oil was discovered in the country.

China, Ukraine, India, Russia, USA and many other countries are not feeling the intensity of this global inflation brought by the covid-19 pandemic because they have a diversified economy cushioning the effects of inflation in prices of foodstuffs especially. But this can't be said of those countries that economies depends on one source for their GDP growth. When the price of a barrel of crude oil falls the GDP is nakedly affected, and that's not how an economy grows in this 21C.

[TelolettOm]

when I see BLT recipients they don't use it according to their needs, most of them actually use it for consumptive needs, and this clearly doesn't help much to reduce the suffering resulting from the economic crisis. I think that the government and society are not in sync in conveying their intentions, but currently society seems to be forced to be friendly with the increase in basic prices in particular, until now the concern is the increase in the price of rice which is our staple food, hopefully we will all always be given health so that we can work to fulfill our daily needs, because the long dry season has made many people sick at this time

We can't blame the BLT recipients, the use it for consumptive needs probably because of certain reasons. I'm very sure that the government is aware about the potential misused of the BLT. But the government doesn't think too much about it, they keep applying that instant solution because they don't want to be busy thinking more effective solutions. Actually, the best solution is to provide decent jobs for the society. However, it must take more efforts and time, the government doesn't want to be complicated in providing the solution.

At the end of the day, we must find the solution ourselves. If we are aware about the potential crisis of foods, we must prepare the solution since today. Not only by finding more decent jobs for ourselves, we also need to try to fulfill our own foods by making simple agricultural fields (if it is possible).

It is difficult for small communities to reject the Government's decision to increase fuel costs, even though it is stated that there are wrong targets, deviations including gratification (corruption) must be sanctioned, and the Government must be responsible, not the people who are victims.

We have no choice, the government will never consider our rejection. The government probably has certain plans to increase the fuel costs. They won't take the responsibility, they will assume it is the responsibility of the society.

[Peanutswar]

Like in other country price here n the Philippines continuously rises due to the government not supporting too much the agriculture field they keep wasting a lot of money on the confidential funds Sometimes it's also with the government how they manage their community instead of doing an action to the people of the community here in us we are suffering with the poor politics and corrupt people.
Even not pandemic this happen reason why there's no changes here with the management unlike into the other world countries.

I think the agricultural sector is often not a priority in a country. Because there is always a lot of funds for building roads and the like rather than for helping agricultural land such as making modern irrigation and so on. In fact, farmers are rarely helped in obtaining modern tools for farming. Even the price of fertilizer is also getting more expensive. Likewise in animal husbandry. Feed prices are getting more expensive. But we also can't completely complain about this to the government. Because we ourselves are also responsible for ourselves and the sector we enter. But I also hope that the agricultural sector can be given better attention by every government in the world. Because food is the main thing in this world to support life.

[EluguHcman]

You could think the farmers are making whole lot of profits when they sells out their agricultural products at higher rate at the time of the drought, but likely did you not know that they have also invested more resources than usual such as increments in labors and materials and tools required in the farm making just to keep the plants growing productively despites the droughts challenges on ground affecting the fertility of the soil so of course, the farmers would also create that impact to make profits out of its sales because no investors ever craving for lost.

As for my country, we are undergoing inflation and there is  over 4 times multiplication increments in the goods and services across the nation.
You don't have to believe the investors are making more extra and higher profits at these processes whereas they purchases the goods on a higher price than before and of course, they should also sell  higher as long as the goal of the business is to make profits and not a charity affair. otherwise, the government sectors is the one being enriched on the process because they fails to provide an ease or alternative to the people instead they are focused at its comfortability.

Having funding for modern technology like harvesters can make the farmer save huge money and time, but you are right the government is not prioritizing them as they are more focused on building roads and modern buildings but we can't blame them as mostly this will be happening in 3rd world countries where everything still needs to be built. What I do hope is that they add more funding to farmers even just a little bit higher so that they will continue to plant more. Right now a lot of farmers are quitting and the outcome of this is that the prices of food will increase.

[fruktik]

Right now, it's not just food that has gone up, but fuel per liter has gone up again here. It seems like it's not enough to tell drivers not to drive cars so that they won't be affected by expensive fuel. Then, when it comes to food, it's enough to say that we people don't eat because of the price of the goods. But it's true what some say here: we need to find another way to earn money, not just one that knows how to budget but also one that increases the source of income apart from the job that we have.

What choice do we have? Give up that modest daily diet that leaves much to be desired? So you can stretch your hooves. This is where the option of finding an additional source of income comes in. There is a minus and a very big one - this is the amount of free time remaining. It should be distributed wisely and not wasted. It may not even be available for communication on the forum. Physical fatigue also takes its toll and you already have a desire to just rest when you come home all exhausted.
This is the case with multiple sources of work.
You need to find some kind of harmony in all this. How to do it? A good question to which very few people know the answer. Everyone's life situation is different. Living conditions also have an impact. There are quite a lot of variables in the equation.

Level of inflation risks by country:

I agree with this, although what the government has attempted to do by building infrastructure in the form of upgrading or building new ones such as roads, bridges and so on is also a priority. But, the basics must also be touched upon, of course. Today, many natural phenomena occur and one of them is the devastating floods in Libya with 2% of the Libyan population dead and missing (Condolences for this disaster). So, if we look at what is focused on, the main thing is basic fulfillment, health and then post-incident rehabilitation.

[asyakashi]

I think this is related to inflation. Of course, our country will also experience an increase in food prices. This is really bad for those who have low salaries in their jobs. they only run out of necessities to get a salary. I think this is the time to start thinking about investing to fight inflation.

[Pamadar]

It should be, aside from infrastructures, there should be additional aid that the government should be preparing, like with what happened currently in Libya. it's an un-plan disaster that needs to address or to anticipate.

We can't control everything and same with the government, the inflations affects the prices of the basic needs
additional concern that should also be taking care of the government to help, especially those poor communities
who really need help the most.

You've brought up an important point: people often think wrongly that higher prices automatically mean more money for the producer. I totally agree. When the weather is bad, the farmer has to spend more money and time just to stay even. The cost of labor goes up, and watering systems might need to be updated. At the same time, the land becomes less fertile.

The economy is not easy, is it? We often forget, though, that these farmers and businesses are the backbone of the whole economy, while policymakers sit back in their comfort zones. Government intervention can be both good and bad. Sometimes it helps, but other times it just wastes money and doesn't help people or producers in any real way

When in an agricultural country, it is important to do the best for agriculture because this will be very helpful even though sometimes there are some countries that do not see this but for developed agricultural countries such as Japan, they actually do very good things for agriculture, especially after the tsunami that devastated their country even for now Japan enforces agriculture as one of the important sectors in the country's economy and is a great source of income for farmers.

But for agrarian countries that are still in the development stage sometimes do not really see agriculture as an important sector and lack of attention even though it is one of the things that is very good to be utilised.
So in this case I think it depends on the country's policy when talking about this because we cannot equalise all countries in policies towards agriculture.

Government does still have a role when it comes to their economic situation specially on prices of goods and other stuffs which if they do saw that there's some possible shortage then exportation should be halted because we know that if the consumption overall is high but the supply is less then you would really be expecting on higher price or increasing which there's no sense that if the government would really be deciding on continuing those exportation which it is one of the few conditions or situations which does shows that government decisions and laws could really give out such impact in overall. Somewhat there are some commodities or areas which cant really be totally be stopped specially if its value is really basing up on market value.They would normally be that be adjusting basing up on where they could really be able to have that profit margin out of those suppliers of foods or simply with those goods. Therefore, as a citizen who does have that struggling on food prices or other commodities then it would really be just that common sense or wise thing to be thinking up of
on having another source of income on which it could really make you that able to sustain and afford on whatever things you wanted to purchase on and not only limited to food only but also in other things.

the elected government of every country is obliged to take care of their citizens, otherwise why would we elect them.

anyway, the development of road infrastructure must also be balanced with the attention given by the government to agriculture because good infrastructure can provide fast access to distribution.  

Let's just look at what the Chinese government is currently doing, they have food reserves that are large enough and are estimated to be able to support all of their citizens in the next few years, but infrastructure development in their country is also in line.  in third world countries, what i noticed is that the government is only busy enriching itself, development and agriculture don't get equal attention so they only rely on exchanges from foreign countries.

Our current government is only focused on the election of the new President bro.
Our economy is getting worse and society is divided into groups that attack each other.

When economic inequality cannot be addressed there are many negative things that happen.
Life is not worth living and those in leadership are just watching.

As for increasing employment, that's still quite far from reality.
There is a lot of unemployment and those who finish high school do not necessarily get a job.

The government is not very prosperous for farmers, they prefer to import foodstuffs rather than foodstuffs from their own country.

When in an agricultural country, it is important to do the best for agriculture because this will be very helpful even though sometimes there are some countries that do not see this but for developed agricultural countries such as Japan, they actually do very good things for agriculture, especially after the tsunami that devastated their country even for now Japan enforces agriculture as one of the important sectors in the country's economy and is a great source of income for farmers.

But for agrarian countries that are still in the development stage sometimes do not really see agriculture as an important sector and lack of attention even though it is one of the things that is very good to be utilised.
So in this case I think it depends on the country's policy when talking about this because we cannot equalise all countries in policies towards agriculture.

Well I understand what you mean. And indeed all countries cannot make the same policies in this matter. Because the advantages possessed by each country are different. Like Arab countries which focus on oil mining and import exports needed in that country. This is different from countries that have natural wealth and soil fertility which is definitely dominated by the agricultural sector. And in Asia, there are many developing countries that actually have fertile land and agriculture can help the country's finances if it is developed. But some countries ignore their natural wealth and instead focus more on sectors that are not really their field. They focus on building electric car facilities, for example. But on the one hand, their agricultural sector is really not advanced and is still far behind developed countries.
But it would be very good if the agricultural sector and other sectors were given balanced attention.

In Japan, for example. I think in Japan Agriculture and education are priorities. They really appreciate the agricultural sector there. There, technological advances have also been developed to pamper farmers with tools that make it easier for farmers to manage land. And this should be emulated by developing countries. Developed countries can become developed because they balance technological progress to advance agriculture and all sectors that benefit their citizens and the country. Balance is what is required in this case. Technological progress and agriculture must coexist and cannot be separated.

Because technology should be needed to increase the efficiency of increasing food supply in life. Such as helping farmers to have more food yields in a short time.

[Sithara007]

Here in India, food prices are quite unstable at the moment. For example, a couple of weeks back, the price for tomato went up to $2.5 per kg. But now they are trading for $0.30 per kg. Similarly, sunflower oil a few months ago used to cost $10 per 5 liter bottle. The same now costs just $6. The same pattern can be observed for most of the fruits, vegetables and even for fish and meat. I am not sure why this volatility is there. Ever since the NDA government came to power in 2014, prices used to be stable. This is the first time we are witnessing such volatility.

[Uruhara]

Like in other country price here n the Philippines continuously rises due to the government not supporting too much the agriculture field they keep wasting a lot of money on the confidential funds Sometimes it's also with the government how they manage their community instead of doing an action to the people of the community here in us we are suffering with the poor politics and corrupt people.
Even not pandemic this happen reason why there's no changes here with the management unlike into the other world countries.

I think the agricultural sector is often not a priority in a country. Because there is always a lot of funds for building roads and the like rather than for helping agricultural land such as making modern irrigation and so on. In fact, farmers are rarely helped in obtaining modern tools for farming. Even the price of fertilizer is also getting more expensive. Likewise in animal husbandry. Feed prices are getting more expensive. But we also can't completely complain about this to the government. Because we ourselves are also responsible for ourselves and the sector we enter. But I also hope that the agricultural sector can be given better attention by every government in the world. Because food is the main thing in this world to support life.

Having funding for modern technology like harvesters can make the farmer save huge money and time, but you are right the government is not prioritizing them as they are more focused on building roads and modern buildings but we can't blame them as mostly this will be happening in 3rd world countries where everything still needs to be built. What I do hope is that they add more funding to farmers even just a little bit higher so that they will continue to plant more. Right now a lot of farmers are quitting and the outcome of this is that the prices of food will increase.

So true. Agriculture just needs to be given more attention by the Government. Although the development of public infrastructure is also important, such as better road access which can make transportation easier for transporters and the like. But still don't let Agriculture be forgotten. Because after all, food security is what must be number one. Because if a food crisis occurs then the government will have to face more difficulties, especially the lower classes. And the increase in prices is also a sign of reduced food supply in the market, which makes prices soar even more. But I also understand that on the one hand, the government builds road infrastructure for the good of its citizens. But I hope there is a balance in this.

The sad truth is that it is not balanced. I do see more that there are new roads built so that they can arrive at their destination in less time but still those farmers are still the same, they even take out a loan so that they can plant crops. There are private sectors that are helping farmers but still they aren't big.

The government can try to regulate the price of fertilizer which almost all of the farmers want to make cheap because even if they don't have a farm-to-market road they will still be able to transport their crops to the market.

[YOSHIE]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

Maybe if you look at international news, the disasters felt by the people in each country vary, from an economic perspective, drought, floods and so on, However, in general, Indonesia is currently experiencing a crisis ranging from crop failure, drought, rising basic commodities and so on.

But it's different from what happened to the Middle East, Europe, etc., it seems that if we examine it from the food side, it probably almost has an impact on basic needs, the economy is in disarray, I hope that in the future the economy can improve, especially Asia.

Am always impressed with how most of these countries work on advanced agriculture, even going into vertical means of farming to minimize the amount of land used. Also, improved seed is good in terms of time but in terms of health, it has it is on health implications. The prices of food rise in different countries due to different factors, and the government not playing a serious role in the agricultural sector is a general situation. The only solution is to encourage individual farming and let the government be. That's what the government gets for spending money on things that are not now necessary, forgetting that the first priority is the well-being of the people.

The fact is that it is like that. In fact, the current condition of farmers can be said to be very disadvantageous in several countries. They have to face increasing fertilizer prices which continue to skyrocket. But sometimes agricultural products are not priced too high. Even though food prices are currently rising. But actually fertilizer prices have a much bigger increase. And now many farmers have finally given up and changed professions. So a lot of agricultural land was then converted into industrial factories or even housing. In fact, I think that currently the younger generation's interest in the world of agriculture is really decreasing. Because they know that the potential profits from agriculture are not as great as in previous years. If this is left unchecked, food production will indeed decrease. Meanwhile, the human population will increase. But I always want to think well. While still hoping that the world of agriculture will finally be given better attention. And I believe it will happen.

I happened to check the price of rice at my place, for one bag of rice weighing 15 kg now the price has reached $15 (if we convert it to USDT currency) which previously was only $11. It does seem like the difference is small, only $4. However, if there are many family members, perhaps the monthly need will be high, for example for 1 month you need 4 zak. But for a small family maybe 1-2 zak is enough and don't think too much about it.

First of all, what you said that the government does not support the agriculture sector in our country is not correct; that is misleading. Do you know why? Don't you know that the current government has paid all the debts of our farmers all over the Philippines? This is the link:
https://pia.gov.ph/news/2023/07/07/more-than-600000-farmers-freed-from-debt-after-pbbm-signs-potentially-life-changing-new-agrarian-law

Apart from that, he gave benefits to our farmers. Second, the confidential funds that you say are in the constitution are not illegal, and then how did you say that money is being wasted on confidential funds? Do you have evidence? Alright, since the time of Cory Aquino, Does anyone know that the president of the Philippines paid all the debts of our farmers here? Only PBBM did that. Yes, it is true that there are corrupt politicians in our government, but the question is, are there only corrupt people here in the Philippines? Are the prices only increasing here in the Philippines?

Also here in the forum, you bring your simple slander against our government; it would be fine if everything you said was true. Don't be like that, folks; I have nothing against you personally; I'm just attacking what you said as different.

Hhhm, this is interesting. Even though you didn't discuss the continuation of what @Uruhara said, you looked more objectively at the field. BTW, if I look, you made a price comparison, oh, is the price a long time ago when you surveyed, for example the comparison was 3-5 months ago or did you immediately feel a drastic change in this 1 month at your place? If indeed within one month there is a change in prices that is quite felt by the community, this is a sign that a food crisis will begin. If I understand what you mean, even if it is only $4 dollars, the difference is normal and it is normal to pay attention to it because of basic human needs.

There have been importing countries that have stopped importing rice and that's why the price has increased. They need to secure first their locals and citizens for their food security.
And that's likely to continue until there's not that much produced rice anymore as it's a staple food for many asian countries.
For those families that have a few working people, they need to help each other to increase their source of income for them to afford and survive the continual price increase of foods.

If we talk about the impact that will arise in the long term, the decreasing agricultural land and the decreasing interest of the younger generation in the agricultural sector will certainly result in an imbalance in food supply in the future. Where the population will become increasingly dense but the agricultural sector will increasingly decline, this will lead to a truly serious food crisis.

But in several countries currently there are still many citizens who have a high interest in agriculture, including the younger generation there. But in my country, namely Indonesia, I think the younger generation is very rarely interested in entering and studying the agricultural sector.

So many of the farmers here are old and they worry that their children will not continue the agricultural sector that they have managed for generations. Because most young people here when they inherit agricultural land, they tend to sell the agricultural land or convert it into another industrial sector.

But I think the recent price increase is due to the dry season which has been going on for quite a long time, namely around 6 months (in my area). And this is indeed much longer than usual, which is only around 4 months. But I believe the dry season will end soon and the rainy season will come. And food prices will fall again.

           -   Here in our country, the supply of rice is sufficient, but there are smugglers here in our country who squeeze or hide rice to claim that the supply is insufficient, but the truth is that they are only hidden in some large warehouses, and then they will sell the expensive rice that they just got at a cheap price.

What will be sold is rice from other countries; fortunately, our government caught up with these smugglers immediately, and it was resolved immediately, especially since the rice harvest is approaching here in the month of October.

When there's a sabotage in the supply, it's truly hard to get it back on shape because it's like an economic sabotage.
Hoarding or hiding of supply made by the smugglers or oligarchs make it look like that there's not enough supply.
And from there, as we all know about the law of supply and demand, that makes the price of the rice or any commodity higher.

[coin-investor]

The residents' economic sector has actually begun to recover and improve in the past few months. But because at this time there was another spike in prices again, it made the people around me start to complain again about the current economy.

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

It's getting worse in our country average wage earner in our country cannot keep up anymore, just last night there was an announcement of electricity and oil price hikes but there's no increase in wages, you need a sideline or another member of your family is also working for them to survive.
It is really hard for a country if it's not an oil-producing country, our country depends on oil coming from the Middle East the blame is on our government for not creating energy sources like solar and renewable energy and not creating jobs for its people.

If we only have one income then it will be very difficult to meet our personal needs at this time because the price of goods continues to increase, as you said we need to find some additional income to be able to meet our personal needs at this time. In my personal opinion, blaming the government in this case cannot have any impact on ourselves and our families, but if the government can improve the current situation for the better, of course this will really help people who have small incomes to meet their living needs.

[Bitcoin_people]

Even in the country where I live, the prices of various commodities including food have skyrocketed and are not being reduced. I am a citizen of Bangladesh and the current financial situation of my country and the foreign loans of the banks have affected the people of the country the most. Where people are not able to eat their food well regularly due to the high cost of food everything is expensive due to which the poor people are living in a lot of hardship. There was a time when people lived very easily when food items and products were all normal and there was no shortage of food. But now the price of food has increased so much that it is difficult for poor people to run their families. Even more problematic is the fact that people who work daily to procure food are unable to properly procure food for their families. That is why if the prices of these food and products are not reduced then there will be an epidemic in the country and people will die due to lack of food. That is why the government must take maximum initiative to solve this problem so that poor people can run their families and eliminate food shortages.

Having a side income would always be that recommended specially living on this world becomes expensive day by day because of these increasing prices on which this had been the reality that we are facing on which it would really be just that wise that you should really be finding ways for you to sustain yourself or else then you would really be finding out difficult on surviving on daily basis specially if you do have mouths to feed or simply having a family then it would really be a normal approach for you to have such move.If you dont act then for sure you would really be suffering that starvation and the worst you would really be living on the streets once you have lost your main income. This is why as much as possible which it would really be that better that you should be finding other source or making out some investment or business on which it would really be helping you out at least on surviving this hardship in life in terms of finances because not all would really be sitting on the same
situation when it comes to financial capacity.

In my opinion, because the current government is not serious about working on the agricultural sector, plus the protracted polemic about fertilizer availability, which has also added to the problems, policy makers should be serious about dealing with domestic agricultural problems. Because the sovereignty of a country lies in an adequate and stable pagan supply.

Plus, when prices increase, distributors/middlemen actually hold back the goods so the price gets higher as you said. The government is still at fault for this food problem. They should be able to maintain the country's food security from price fluctuations, at least have a year's stock.

[abel1337]

It's known that we are having a global inflation and food prices really got so high. It's a bad thing for majority of people especially for those who are in the lower class who are just trying to survive. My food monthly budget increased by 50% from last year which is I think a very fast price jump. Everything in my country became expensive which affects my crypto accumulation given that it affected my budget to be used in accumulating. I'm aware of the global inflation but it worsen because of the obvious government corruption in my country. Life is hard nowadays, we need to have extra source of income to sustain our normal lives.

[armanda90]

Its about global inflation or not but current my country Indonesia condition very tragic with food price increasing up exactly with rice get up drastically more than 20%. Current price for rice with 15kg we got it around under $10 and for this months we have pay more than $14. More drastically increasing up and rice is most important food needed by our citizen, have bad economic condition actually with offline market looks very quiet. Its happening almost two months and get bad impact with the price of basic necessities is getting more expensive day by day, we need side passive income how to be able to cover our income still not increasing up yet.

How about your country get high inflation of some basic necessities price? how do you manage well if that happening for long term with our capital not increasing up yet?

In my locality, the price of 50 kg of rice is 40,000 naira, which is $51. Now check the difference between the price in my locality and yours. It is a very big difference. This is to show that the economy in my country is not friendly at all, and earlier in the year 2000, the price of rice was 2500 naira but today, the year 2023 the price of a rice bag is scary when quoted the recent price.
The situation in Nigeria is getting worse by day and it does not give any sign of changes to the citizens, like just some months ago the price of fuel has increased and still no light.

It's a bad thing for majority of people especially for those who are in the lower class who are just trying to survive. My food monthly budget increased by 50% from last year which is I think a very fast price jump. Everything in my country became expensive which affects my crypto accumulation given that it affected my budget to be used in accumulating. I'm aware of the global inflation but it worsen because of the obvious government corruption in my country. Life is hard nowadays, we need to have extra source of income to sustain our normal lives.

It is true that global inflation is occurring, perhaps not felt in some places where the per capita income of the population is high, but it is quite noticeable for those with low income. That's right, what you say will indirectly affect and change the value of our investment plans in the crypto world. yes. Fulfillment of basic needs for the family is priority scale no. 1. If there are excess cash reserves, then the rest will be comfortable and safe to invest rather than forcing it or borrowing from other people.

Rice is not cheap
Flour is not cheap.
Milk is not cheap.

I was spending $100 usd a week to feed my wife and I in 2019
I spend over 200 usd a week now.

...and that is the fact that we feel now, the amount of money we spend is not enough and is not commensurate with the value of the goods we used to buy. everything is on the rise even though different places have different prices.

But in several countries currently there are still many citizens who have a high interest in agriculture, including the younger generation there. But in my country, namely Indonesia, I think the younger generation is very rarely interested in entering and studying the agricultural sector.

So many of the farmers here are old and they worry that their children will not continue the agricultural sector that they have managed for generations. Because most young people here when they inherit agricultural land, they tend to sell the agricultural land or convert it into another industrial sector.

That's right, and that's happening now even though our parents used to live mostly in agriculture and continued to send them to school up to tertiary institutions by working hard by farming.

Well, indeed we know that the need for housing is very high due to the increasing population and the demand for land to build shop buildings, especially if the land is on the side of the road or is strategic and is the most sought after and valuable.

It is very likely that the younger generation considers selling their assets practical even though their intentions are turning here and there. but if he wants to buy it again and looks for exactly the same as what he sold, maybe there is, but the price is no longer the same, it's getting higher, it's impossible for him to buy it.

Rice is not cheap

yeah, Rice is a particularly high growing food in my country. In addition, oil is also trending up significantly. After the data published by FAO in early August, this really causes concern for poor people. They really face very high risks when it comes to ensuring daily food. Continues to be the main issue that drives inflation to continue to increase relative to the value of money that can be earned.

In my locality, the price of 50 kg of rice is 40,000 naira, which is $51. Now check the difference between the price in my locality and yours. It is a very big difference. This is to show that the economy in my country is not friendly at all, and earlier in the year 2000, the price of rice was 2500 naira but today, the year 2023 the price of a rice bag is scary when quoted the recent price.
The situation in Nigeria is getting worse by day and it does not give any sign of changes to the citizens, like just some months ago the price of fuel has increased and still no light.

Inflation in our country is increasing day by day and the prices of daily necessities have increased enormously. Our country ranks fourth in the world in rice production but still rice is available here at Rs 350 per kg. Which was available at Rs 70 per kg a few years ago. The economy of our country has become very bad which was very good till 2016, after that the condition of the country is going to the worst,and the main reason for this is the intervention of the army everywhere.


getting 50 kilos of rice for around $60, our situation is worse than yours, the situation in Pakistan like Nigeria is getting worse day by day and it has become difficult for people to eat two meals a day. Petrol prices have reached Rs 350 per litre. Which was less than 100 rupees some time ago, they increase the price of petrol every 15 days. The electricity situation is also worse, firstly there is no electricity and if it comes then the bills have increased so much. That people are forced to disconnect their electricity. Pakistani people also do not see any hope of improvement in the situation.Our military generals do not allow the government to do any work for the welfare of the people and try to impose their will, which is leading to the destruction of the country.

If you are residing near the country side, then there is a farmers market where you can buy cheap and fresh goods, but if you are in the metro area, that is really the problem, as everything is expensive and there are times that the cheap is of bad quality, but others are also when it is too late in the night and only a few people are buying fresh foods, and others tend to lower their price so that their goods are already sold and they can go home.

It is really lucky if you have a backyard or an open area where you can make it a garden and plant foods in there because it can save you money, you can use it, it is fresh, and for sure it is safe as it is all organic and no pesticide was sprayed on it.

It is not necessary to reside near the country side for buying cheap food of a great quality during the harvest seasons. Maybe you are working too much in the office and you don't know what going on on the streets around. Just ask people and they will tell you that these markets are arranged regularly somewhere near you. I've seen them in Hamburg, Munich, Geneva and Kyiv(where I live rn), I think they are everywhere. Am I wrong? Do you really don't have them where you live?

The first thing you should establish is whether or not you guys are living in the same country. If you are not, then you can't expect the same arrangement as his at all times. However, his own narration best fits my country and many countries I've been to, you get to purchase the farm products very cheaply when you are living near to the farmers, and it could be ridiculously cheap at times to the point that what you buy there might be priced x5 elsewhere in the city. It might not necessarily be a far place, it might be a neighbouring town to you, and this kind of jumbo happens in many places in my country as long as they are border towns.

There are many petty farmers who are primarily farming to feed their families and make a little money for other reasons. Once there are many in that neighbourhood, supply will crash the price and you can be surprised at what you are buying for your money. I've even seen Youtubers making mention of this. So, it's real.

This is another thing we must understand that the more years passes bye the more prices of food keeps soaring, do you know that at year 2000 people were also crying for the sudden increased after moving from 1500 then to 2000 and then moved to 2500, so it has been counting till dates and there's no day years or months per says we don't always experience increased in food prices.

The funniest part is that government refused to control the prices and make things very easier to her citizens but we kept hoping for a better country and a better nation. Well I wouldn't want to further as I believe is a globally crisis and at this hard time countries are finding it very difficulty to cope and some people are living a debt filled Life, meaning their salaries sometimes do not foot their bills at the current situation considering the food price at present.

We have the right to complain and criticize the government because we are increasingly unable to meet life's needs. The government is the leader of the country and they need to be partly responsible for us. But if we look at the overall picture of the world economy, we will see the difficulties that governments are also facing. All countries are closely linked and interdependent, so if only a few countries encounter difficulties, the remaining countries will inevitably be affected. Therefore, forcing the government to completely solve the problem for us is very difficult for them.
If the world had no war, no inflation, no energy crisis, no food crisis. We can blame our government entirely, but this is happening all over the world.

I thought inflation is a global threat to every country. I don't think there is any country that will denied that the purchasing power of his country is the same in the last 4 years, there is global inflation, even US that is been seen as the number 1 most savy economy know how are also battling inflation, only that there own is manageable when you compared them with other countries that are experiencing over inflation in their country.

The monetary system design of money have it's own disadvantages and that's what we are experiencing years after the years, inflation will remain a big problem to people as long we use money daily, inflation will be a problem is there should be war and price of everything will continue to go up if they keep printing money the way they want.

We still need to blame sir why because they aren't putting enough budgets into agriculture, to me agriculture should be the major target of every country, especially country like Nigeria my country where we have a very big landscape at the northern region and can be used for food production. If our country is producing about 60 to 80 percent of farm products I don't there could be food scarcity in country today but for this we solely depends on importation of food products even as common as tomatoes, we do import it from other neighboring which makes no sense to us.

[blockman]

The same goes for my country, rice is no longer cheap and despite that, there's a set price ceiling for it. This is damaging the retailers and businessmen that are into the rice business. Apart from that, our government has imported a lot of metric tons just to let a supply go into the market to drive the prices down. Our country has become the top importer of rice and that made us on top of China which is the top importer of rice.
That's a lot of sense to think of because we're even tremendous times smaller than China but the demand of rice here is high because it is our staple food.

I understand the importance of agriculture but there is a sadder reality happening. I don't know what it's like in your country, but my country is also an agricultural country. The sad thing is that even when the Government has policies to encourage agricultural development, people do not want to do it. As the world becomes more and more modern, people want to do light, cool jobs and no longer want to do heavy, arduous jobs like agriculture. Looking at today's Gen Z generation, do you see anyone who wants to work in agriculture anymore? They only pursue technology, jobs that don't get their hands dirty. It is people like us who are also contributing to changing the landscape of agriculture in the world.

[JunaidAzizi]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

Yeah the price of food is high nowadays on every side of the world if we talk about the U.S. the western part of this country has been affected by drought which is a production side and the prices there are very high . The drought affects the agriculture sector badly but if I talk about my country the prices are very high due to this drought as well as the political instability which goes towards higher prices of goods and daily life stuff. The vegetables are very high, the wheat pack crosses an all-time high price which makes a poor person difficult tu buy it. These are only two stuff I mentioned besides this a lot more were present that downfall our economy.

Food prices may increase in other countries of the world as well. Of course droughts hurt production,and due to the drought in the US the prices have increased to some extent, but in America, if the prices of commodities increase, check the per capita income there, which is much higher than our country, so people there are not much affected by inflation.While the prices of food items in our country are calculated according to the global market, salaries and income are not calculated according to the global market or the world, due to which we cannot fight inflation. Things are bad in our country not because of drought, but because of political instability. The country is getting worse.


Be it wheat, sugar, rice or vegetables, the prices of everything are getting expensive day by day and one of the major reasons for this is the volatility of oil prices. Oil prices keep changing which affects everything and prices go up. Some things happen by nature like drought', but this state of our country is because of our own people, our rulers and powerful people, some of whom are seen on the screen and some are giving instructions from behind the curtain. . Due to which the poor were already suffering, now the middle class people have become difficult to live.

Am I wrong? Do you really don't have them where you live?

I think the situation is different from country to country. I've small markets near supermarkets and a central market where farmers trade their harvest. I cant say that the variety of their supply is very different, as I see same vegetables at summer and winter almost in same amounts. As well as prices arent much different. Like same potatoes cost during winter just 10-15% more than at summer. Also I cant claim that prices on these markets are cheaper than in supermarkets or have much better taste.

[KiaKia]

Food price, Gas price and few other things are now very costly in my country, this sudden turn of event has affected too many lives, even those that are living comfortably before can't do it anymore, the cruelest of them all is workers salaries are still the same, now they are using all the money they get from salary per month to survive, starting and ending with buying foods.

My family members are now using their legs to walk down to their offices and business locations, because of gas rates is also high, and the worst part is I don't see this going away anytime sooner, inflation is doing its thing and the country Fiat currency keeps losing value against the dollar.

I would have been in this mess if not for crypto trading and mining, also my signature campaign payment is adding up to my expenses every week, I would be saying something different if my business is something else in the real world, things look less tighten for me because my foundation was on crypto from day one.

This happens in almost all developing countries whose governments are not ready to regulate the global changes that are occurring to provide relief on prices that the community can afford.
I think the role of the government is quite big and it also depends on whether poor countries or developed countries regulate everything. The increase in food prices cannot be separated from the global crisis which makes all prices increase and has an impact on food prices in every country.

Yeah it can't be separated as the economy really having a tough time in almost every country, both rich and poor country are also affected by this situation.

More on how the government understands the aide that the community needs and how they will use their
capabilities to provide and help those people who are really struggling with how the economy is taking
them, high price of every commodities while salaries are not being increase, things that the government
is really needed to address to balance the lives of their people.

It seems that the causes of price increases in your country are the same as the causes of price increases in my country. Well, in my country the drought has also temporarily stopped farmers from farming. And this summer is a little longer than usual. So the prices of vegetables and other things here have increased very high, exceeding the increases in previous years. But I'm quite happy right now. Because a few days ago there was a little rain that came to my area. Which suggests summer may be coming to an end. I hope that in your country everything will return to normal. And hopefully the extreme weather will end soon. And the agricultural sector has returned to operating as it should.

That's pretty good news about the rain that is starting to fall in the area or region around you. Because this will at least reduce residents' concerns regarding the long dry season which could cause food stocks to become increasingly low and cause speculation that prices will continue to soar quickly. With the rain, this speculation will stop. And it is hoped that food prices will not experience such a big spike. But you also need to know that from the time it rains until the harvest arrives it takes about 4 months if it is a rice plant. Well, usually 2 months before the harvest period the prices will still be high. Because at that time food stocks may have run out quite seriously. And prices will probably be higher. But a significant price drop will occur when the harvest season arrives. Because large-scale harvests will occur simultaneously. And makes rice stocks on the market pile up.

In my area it doesn't look like it will rain yet.

I'm glad someone was able to explain this as I've been wondering if the sudden increase in rain here in my area/region will help the agricultural sector and in turn influence the price of the products and goods in the market. However, just to add to the idea I did my own research on the net and found this source: https://www.nicheagriculture.com/how-rainfall-affects-crop-health/ by Niche Agriculture that states that (like most things) there are both negative effects in less rainfall and excessive ones, like how less rainfall can lead to drought and have a negative impact on crop growth and yields, while excessive rainfall leads to waterlogging and soil erosion.

Anyway, despite the sudden increase in rain here, I'm still a little concerned as our country is known to have sudden weather changes wherein it will rain for a whole week then it will never happen again for like half a month and vice versa.

For example, in the Asian region, if I'm not mistaken, when browsing the internet and reading releases from the relevant ministries that handle weather forecasting and climatic issues, the dominant month starts with rain, usually September, but whether this will be normal as usual in the future, we also don't know because weather changes don't seem easy. predicted and often changes, especially after the last solar eclipse. Yes, people whose livelihood is predominantly farming really hope that weather conditions will return to normal so that planting season patterns will be easy to implement.

People are finding it difficult to cope very well in some countries, because of the massive inflation that is affecting the global economy and is causing the price of food items to continue increase in the market. Some of the food items we used to buy at cheaper rate in the market some months ago has increased double that is making people to make some noise for government to respond to their Pain, because it's the responsibility of the government to make life easy for the citizens. I think, if government can render financial help to farmers in this season, I believe there will be positive results before the end of this year because some crops can due for cultivation within two or three months.

[Dzwaafu11]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

In Nigeria, it has not been easy for the citizens. Not only the food price, but everything seriously is going even higher every day, and people are suffering. Both farmers and companies producing food are here. You know, in some places, if you are close to where something has been produced, you will find it easy and cheap, not like people that are coming far to purchase those products, but here in Nigeria, whether you are coming from far or close, it is still the same thing when we purchase goods, and right now it's raining season in Nigeria. We don't know how the dry season will look when we want to buy things to consume, which is ending in October. Anyway, we pray to get the solution solved before then.

[slapper]

It seems that the causes of price increases in your country are the same as the causes of price increases in my country. Well, in my country the drought has also temporarily stopped farmers from farming. And this summer is a little longer than usual. So the prices of vegetables and other things here have increased very high, exceeding the increases in previous years. But I'm quite happy right now. Because a few days ago there was a little rain that came to my area. Which suggests summer may be coming to an end. I hope that in your country everything will return to normal. And hopefully the extreme weather will end soon. And the agricultural sector has returned to operating as it should.

That's pretty good news about the rain that is starting to fall in the area or region around you. Because this will at least reduce residents' concerns regarding the long dry season which could cause food stocks to become increasingly low and cause speculation that prices will continue to soar quickly. With the rain, this speculation will stop. And it is hoped that food prices will not experience such a big spike. But you also need to know that from the time it rains until the harvest arrives it takes about 4 months if it is a rice plant. Well, usually 2 months before the harvest period the prices will still be high. Because at that time food stocks may have run out quite seriously. And prices will probably be higher. But a significant price drop will occur when the harvest season arrives. Because large-scale harvests will occur simultaneously. And makes rice stocks on the market pile up.

In my area it doesn't look like it will rain yet.

The way the weather changes from dry spells to rainy spells often makes me think of how unstable the Bitcoin and crypto markets are. Farmers are worried that long dry spells will hurt food stocks and prices. Traders are also afraid that long bear markets will hurt their investment funds. But just like rain can ease the worries that come with a drought, good market catalysts can bring the crypto market back to life when it is down. It's interesting that the crypto market can respond almost instantly to good news, while farmers may have to wait months for the crop to come after it rains. Like a bull run in a bad market, I hope it rains soon in your area. Why do you think these cycles happen in farming and in money?

Not only in Nigeria but in almost every country in the world, the prices of all kinds of daily items including food have increased a lot. But it doesn't matter if everyone in that country has a good source of income and can earn a high amount of income every month. However, in most of the countries of the world, even though the prices of goods have increased at a high speed, people's income has not increased much. And this is why it has become very difficult to live comfortably in most countries of the world

Prices of goods increase rapidly while people's income does not improve and they have to spend more to buy goods, a phenomenon called inflation. And in the case as you said, if people's income increases higher and commodity prices also increase, but as long as people still spend freely, I don't think it's called inflation.

Inflation in my country is also getting worse every day and I don't think this will go away even when the war ends or this crisis passes. Things won't go down and they will stay at that price and will continue to increase over time.

[Out of mind]

Today in all the countries of the world food prices have increased and in my country too food prices have increased a lot. Most of the people in the area where I live are working people, and they work hard to get their food. Economically impoverishment and people have to live in a lot of scarcity during this time due to which they are unable to buy their food. As people do not have money, they are not able to cultivate the land well, and they are not able to buy any food and eat it in a healthy condition. There are many children of poor families in my area they try hard to eat one meal, but they cannot eat those meals, rather they face many problems due to lack of food. In the region where I live, due to rising food prices, many families and everyone including children are living in poverty and cannot get enough food on time, causing families to succumb to various illnesses. That is why the government of every country should look after all these poor sufferers and reduce the price of food and provide people with good health care and jobs so that every family does not have to worry about their food.

The main reason for the increase in the price of food products is that the rate of demand is higher than the production. And the reason for the additional demand is the increase in population in the country. Population is growing at a high rate in every country due to which the demand for food grains is increasing day by day. Therefore, no country is able to reduce the price of food products, whether it is Asia or Europe. And for this reason it cannot be called inflection. Inflation occurs when the price of goods rises and the value of money depreciates even though production remains constant

Currently, in many countries the reason for inflation is different. Many companies have suffered during COVID and some of the supply chains are still recovering. This is a crisis of supply, not demand, but both EU and US authorities were printing money like crazy which was a mistake and only served their political interests.

The problem is caused by inflation, the cost of gas and petroleum product has affected the high price of other commodities. In my country, one need to spend high to have a good meal and it has been a treat to the poor who cannot afford two square meal. The rate of population is increasing, the rate of corruption is increasing and still there is an ongoing way. I wonder how the price of things will be like in the next 10yrs from now because presently, there is nothing showing that the price of food will be stagnant.

That's right and there should be special considerations even though they also plot the budget for post-pandemic recovery both in terms of supplies which are fundamental in disaster management and resilience and others. I think that's understandable. The name of the government is also not something they think about, but at least they are paying attention to it even though the results are not optimal and the food crisis should not be considered trivial without preparation because the impact is much bigger than the Covid pandemic itself.

Rice prices here have even increased by around 9-10 percent in the last month in my area.

In which area do you live? As far as I know, the government has warehouses for basic food supplies, especially rice, spread across every city district and this functions to maintain a stable distribution of commodity needs. An increase of 10% is actually quite high, in my area it has been quite stable since the pandemic ended. Do farmers in your area only trade their products locally?

Government do have those warehouse in which they stock rice but the problem here is it's not enough to sustain and they needed to import from the other countries since there are some businesses which they brought the rice of the local farmers then sell it for their own benefit and we can't blame those farmers since they're lack of assistance from the government and aside from that the government doesn't provide or give them assistance to sustain their rice fields.

[Uruhara]

But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?

Yeah the price of food is high nowadays on every side of the world if we talk about the U.S. the western part of this country has been affected by drought which is a production side and the prices there are very high . The drought affects the agriculture sector badly but if I talk about my country the prices are very high due to this drought as well as the political instability which goes towards higher prices of goods and daily life stuff. The vegetables are very high, the wheat pack crosses an all-time high price which makes a poor person difficult tu buy it. These are only two stuff I mentioned besides this a lot more were present that downfall our economy.

It seems that the causes of price increases in your country are the same as the causes of price increases in my country. Well, in my country the drought has also temporarily stopped farmers from farming. And this summer is a little longer than usual. So the prices of vegetables and other things here have increased very high, exceeding the increases in previous years. But I'm quite happy right now. Because a few days ago there was a little rain that came to my area. Which suggests summer may be coming to an end. I hope that in your country everything will return to normal. And hopefully the extreme weather will end soon. And the agricultural sector has returned to operating as it should.

For example, in the Asian region, if I'm not mistaken, when browsing the internet and reading releases from the relevant ministries that handle weather forecasting and climatic issues, the dominant month starts with rain, usually September, but whether this will be normal as usual in the future, we also don't know because weather changes don't seem easy. predicted and often changes, especially after the last solar eclipse. Yes, people whose livelihood is predominantly farming really hope that weather conditions will return to normal so that planting season patterns will be easy to implement.

Normally, September should have entered the rainy season. And usually the rainy season starts at the beginning of the month. But currently, in September, there are only signs of the arrival of the rainy season. Because even though a few days ago there was rain coming to my area. But there are no signs of rain again. Maybe this year's rainy season will start in October. And farmers have been waiting for this.

But now there are things to worry about that will impact price changes on a global scale. Namely, there is news that the price of oil and gas has increased again. But fortunately the increase is not that high. So the impact is not yet felt.

Even if there was no Covid, no war and no energy crisis, inflation would still increase over time, because there are many causes of inflation as mentioned by Z_MBFM. According to my understanding, inflation is an inevitable part of the world economy and it will increase and cause an economic crisis at some point. I mean the crisis will return soon in the future. So, our job is to prepare them for bad things in the future and bitcoin can be one of the effective solutions to deal with inflation.

In my place have been started with rainy season, we got rain almost one day and its good or positive side for farmer have start heir planting last few weeks ago. But little worry when rainy season keep consistency every day have chance we will get flood and has potential crop failure could occur with our rice field. Have worry not only with food price are increasing but also oil have indicated will up few percent and bigger impact with transportation cost up and all daily needs will following up.

Can't stopping how to make daily need will back to normal price exactly with rice as our basic needs and can't change with the other option, lower salary payment will difficult how to manage when rice price going up drastically because they don't have enough back up recovery or saving fund in the Bank.

Sad true, government should help the farmers in terms of buying their finish products and continue the assistance in terms of maintaining
the cycles of the fresh goods.

But instead, the farmers are being forced to sell it to the private investors as the price that the government
offers are far from the value of the offer from private buyers.

More on how the government should be focusing in terms of helping and not just implement laws that
just to say they give something, but the use is not really beneficial for the people who need it.

I'm glad to hear that it's starting to rain in your area. And farmers have started to be able to grow crops again. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. But when the rainy season comes. Indeed, sometimes concerns arise, such as rain that is too heavy and lasts quite a long time and causes flooding and crop failure. But if we already have thorough preparation. For example, if a river flow has been cleaned and there are no blockages, flooding can be avoided. Because floods usually occur due to blockages in rivers.

Another problem we are currently facing is related to the increase in oil and gas fuels, which seem to be experiencing another spike. And this will indeed cause transportation costs to increase. And yes, it has the potential to increase prices in all sectors. Maybe the current inflation is not over yet. And maybe a recession is currently underway. I hope there will also be an increase in salaries to adjust to the prices of necessities which are also increasing rapidly.

[woez]

......Maybe the current inflation is not over yet. And maybe a recession is currently underway. I hope there will also be an increase in salaries to adjust to the prices of necessities which are also increasing rapidly.

There is always the opportunity for speculans to increase the price of basic commodities, especially rice, I think the government should read this too. Don't just make laws that benefit parties when the object being carried is always the community, especially in this case farmers. I'm the lightest one of the rice producers and is known for the title of rice barn and at the end of the story they have to import rice from other countries, it's sad to see.

Which really affecting the lifecycle of those people who are the main source of income is farming it, seeing the point that you are bringing is a good factor for the government to look for them in the long-run.

Not just to help the majority, but also consider the people behind and help them to continue being
aided by the government funding, which will allow them to live and continue the cycle of farming and
not to think of selling their farms and try to find the alternative to survive.

The news of an increase in fuel prices is not just a rumor but has actually been implemented now. And actually the increase has occurred since September 1. I don't know about your area, but in my area the increase has occurred since September 1st. Where the fuel increase actually only applies to non-subsidized fuel. And the increase that occurred was actually quite high, namely around 10 percent for each type of fuel oil.

And clearly this increase has caused transportation costs to increase. Not only that, you have to check the prices of snacks in traditional markets. You will be surprised at the increase that occurs. But there are some products that choose not to increase prices. But they reduced the contents of their products. So it's the same.

Situation in Ukraine:
From the bad: Imported products, of course, have gone up in price, in proportion to inflation.
On the good side: seasonal fruits and vegetables are cheaper on the market this year than last year.
Despite the war and Russia's temporary occupation of part of Ukrainian territory, namely the eastern and southern regions, where much of the fruits and vegetables were grown. After 2022, the beginning of a new phase of terrorist attack on Ukraine by Russia, agribusiness was able to adapt, and a significant part of agriculture "migrated" to the western regions of Ukraine, where they began to grow vegetables, fruits and berries. For example, berries in Ukraine were unexpectedly cheap this year, compared to previous years!

If there would be some off balance in between farmers and the expenses that they do have on farming then it would really be sure resulting into disaster when everyone tends to shift because we would really be ending up
on importing instead on supplying our own because of that unjustified prices and cheap buying of their products which it would really be ending up on stopping which it would really be greatly affecting the supply
and when shortages comes after then it would really be a problem which it could really be felt and this is due to some reasons and government should really be needing to address this kind of possible problem
if ever farming needs becomes that expensive on which they cant really be already to sustain.Food prices and even on other needs and supplied becomes really expensive as years passing by
and this is why if you do have that kind of worries then it would really be just that right that you should really be that finding for other source of income so that you could really be able to make yourself
sustain and survive on whatever things that do happen.

Today in all the countries of the world food prices have increased and in my country too food prices have increased a lot. Most of the people in the area where I live are working people, and they work hard to get their food. Economically impoverishment and people have to live in a lot of scarcity during this time due to which they are unable to buy their food. As people do not have money, they are not able to cultivate the land well, and they are not able to buy any food and eat it in a healthy condition. There are many children of poor families in my area they try hard to eat one meal, but they cannot eat those meals, rather they face many problems due to lack of food. In the region where I live, due to rising food prices, many families and everyone including children are living in poverty and cannot get enough food on time, causing families to succumb to various illnesses. That is why the government of every country should look after all these poor sufferers and reduce the price of food and provide people with good health care and jobs so that every family does not have to worry about their food.

Currently, the global economic condition is experiencing a severe crisis, although it is not evenly distributed, but the situation is very pronounced. I see several factors that influence this, such as the increase in food prices and other commodities, which makes the inflation rate increasingly out of control. A number of producing countries are starting to worry about the current situation so they are changing economic policies in their own countries, resulting in other countries not having the capacity or sufficient food reserves for their citizens.

I see that global conditions are increasingly uncertain due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine which has not improved, extreme weather changes have had an impact on agricultural products and as a result almost all countries have limited export activities, especially food. If this condition continues, I will be very worried about the condition of certain countries whose economies are so weak that it will cause prolonged famine. I hope the world economic situation recovers soon.

You are right, it turns out that this is an increase for non-subsidized fuel only. Meanwhile, the price of fuel which is subsidized by the government does not appear to have increased significantly. Only a few percent. I mostly use subsidized fuel so I didn't realize the increase in non-subsidized fuel which has actually gone up as you said. I think in our country every year fuel prices never stop increasing. So it is not surprising that the prices of basic necessities will not stop increasing. I think the value of the fiat that we currently hold is slowly continuing to decline in value. And this convinced me not to keep my savings in fiat.

I'm the lightest one of the rice producers and is known for the title of rice barn and at the end of the story they have to import rice from other countries, it's sad to see.

Importation is happening now because of the news about the El ñino that's going to last up to next year or so. That's why many countries that have a staple food of rice are importing to secure their buffering stocks. In my country, it's just sad that we're a rice country and we've got vast lands for agricultural products like rice but we're importing because we've got a shortage problem. We're no longer sufficient in producing food for ourselves and that's why we're importing. Even with that, the importation affects the farmers, the prices and the stocks. The price of rice has increased significantly and right now, there's a price ceiling that has been set by our president to control it but it's just a temporary solution.

The first thing you should establish is whether or not you guys are living in the same country. If you are not, then you can't expect the same arrangement as his at all times. However, his own narration best fits my country and many countries I've been to, you get to purchase the farm products very cheaply when you are living near to the farmers, and it could be ridiculously cheap at times to the point that what you buy there might be priced x5 elsewhere in the city. It might not necessarily be a far place, it might be a neighbouring town to you, and this kind of jumbo happens in many places in my country as long as they are border towns.

There are many petty farmers who are primarily farming to feed their families and make a little money for other reasons. Once there are many in that neighbourhood, supply will crash the price and you can be surprised at what you are buying for your money. I've even seen Youtubers making mention of this. So, it's real.

Alright, that's basically what I'm saying. 5 times cheaper, eh? Don't have such market near you, take a ride to a neighboring town. I mean, there's always a solution. But still I suggest to ask people around. Maybe such market is organized once per month and you keep  missing it. Because I'm not talking about the place I live, I'm talking about many countries. I forgot to mention Cannes in France and Istanbul in Turkey.

Yes, the food is very expensive here, its prices almost doubled or tripled, so you really have to adjust.
In the past few days, I've been struggling a bit because the salary I used to earn was not enough, so I thought of getting a part time job so that I could somehow save a little. So you really need to make an extra effort to eat three times a day. The cost of living will even be much higher in the future

Problems like this seem to have become quite common. That is, the salary we receive does not increase, but the price of daily necessities increases and makes the salary we get, which is usually enough to meet our needs, not enough to meet our needs. High inflation that has not stopped at all is a problem for the majority of people throughout the world today. And you are right that extra effort is needed so that we can survive and still have money left to save and invest. Working part time has now become a trend that many people do to increase their income.

Extra effort and a big need for proper education on how you budget your money. No wonder it's not just with a third world country but also with 1st class economy.

Everyone in the world, especially those who are on the poor side of each country, has this issue,
they can live a life with a surviving method, things that needed to think first before you spend your money
in order to continue moving forward.

Price of food in my country is very expensive, some salary earners cannot afford their daily needs due to the cost of food in my country. And some farmers will say is because of the last year flood that destroyed there farm and crops such as plaintain farm, yam farm and rice farm so they have decided to increase the price of food in the market. Also the cost of transportation due to the fuel subsidy in my country has also contributed to the cost of food in my country , due to the cost of food in market money has never been enough.

[Casdinyard]

It certainly did. Fast food here was so cheap back then it was a perfect alternative to a full meal if you're low on cash and short on time. Nowadays you'd be lucky if you're able to spend less than 2 dollars which mind you is already a big amount of money for the majority of people from where I live. Not to mention the price of goods too, Jesus you'd be able to fill up a grocery cart to the brim in under 60 bucks back then, now you'd be lucky to be even be able to fill your shopping cart halfway.

Things have been progressively worsening over time and we don't see any signs of it ever recovering any time soon.

I agree - natural disasters, wars, etc. events have a very strong impact (negative) on the cost of food.
But the logistical component... It is often put as almost the main indicator of price growth..... But that's not true.
A simple example. A truck, for example, transports 10,000 tons of flour.
It consumes 60 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. A liter cost, for example, 1 dollar/liter. It went up to 2 dollars (100%).

So for 10,000 kilometers of flour:
it cost 60 dollars.
It became: 120 dollars.

Or in the cost of 1 kg of flour, was 0.006 dollars per kilogram of flour.
Became... Yes yes, $0.012 per kilogram of flour.

of course, the example is not linked to real figures, but it is close, but the level of "influence" of fuel cost per kilogram of production is very well visible.

And that 2 dollars of food is almost nothing at all. It's not going to fill your stomach and just like some food that you can survive for that meal and then you'll get hungry again later.

Jesus you'd be able to fill up a grocery cart to the brim in under 60 bucks back then, now you'd be lucky to be even be able to fill your shopping cart halfway.

Things have been progressively worsening over time and we don't see any signs of it ever recovering any time soon.

It's the sad thing that we can't see for now, the recovery of the entire economy and if there's any hope then I think it's just from those rich people where opportunities are endless for them. They can keep with the inflation and even with continuous price increase for the groceries, it's no biggie to them as they can survive with their wealth, businesses and high paying jobs. Unlike a commoner, it's a real struggle and you'll just get bare something for the day when you're just earning minimum wage.

I think I now understand you but such can't be in every city and in some close proximities to everyone. And where you find it, it might be a whole long journey from where you live or not convenient time as you might not be available during their market days. A market that is being marketed in just a month is not worth it as one can't gaurranty to be available due to work and other engagements, so it's still preferable if you can easily go to the neighbouring town to stock for the month or bi-monthly depending on what you are buying.

Some people are now wiser in my country due to inflation, they don't like buying it expensive anymore, they buy in bulk. Five people could arrange for a vehicle that will convey them to and fro to stock the house and it always save them a lot compare to buying it within the metropolis.

Of course food prices have increased, what did you expect out of a fiat economy? The governments can print as much money as they want, and they have to, in order to keep a old generation money system (barely) working. Of course the government is not entirely to blame. We need better, cleaner and more efficient ways to produce energy and transport it.

Fusion energy and new generation of batteries will be coming in the near future and I think that will solve 99% of the problems that we have in our modern age.

Bitcoin will of course be the top money once the governments see reason and decide to give up on their centuries-old pyramid scheme. And they will have to give up, since by making something decentralized and uncontrollable by third parties, we take their options away from them. We force their corrupt little selves to acknowledge the future.

Normally, September should have entered the rainy season. And usually the rainy season starts at the beginning of the month. But currently, in September, there are only signs of the arrival of the rainy season. Because even though a few days ago there was rain coming to my area. But there are no signs of rain again. Maybe this year's rainy season will start in October. And farmers have been waiting for this.

But now there are things to worry about that will impact price changes on a global scale. Namely, there is news that the price of oil and gas has increased again. But fortunately the increase is not that high. So the impact is not yet felt.

The news of an increase in fuel prices is not just a rumor but has actually been implemented now. And actually the increase has occurred since September 1. I don't know about your area, but in my area the increase has occurred since September 1st. Where the fuel increase actually only applies to non-subsidized fuel. And the increase that occurred was actually quite high, namely around 10 percent for each type of fuel oil.

And clearly this increase has caused transportation costs to increase. Not only that, you have to check the prices of snacks in traditional markets. You will be surprised at the increase that occurs. But there are some products that choose not to increase prices. But they reduced the contents of their products. So it's the same.
Sourch: rejabar.republika.co.id

You are right, it turns out that this is an increase for non-subsidized fuel only. Meanwhile, the price of fuel which is subsidized by the government does not appear to have increased significantly. Only a few percent. I mostly use subsidized fuel so I didn't realize the increase in non-subsidized fuel which has actually gone up as you said. I think in our country every year fuel prices never stop increasing. So it is not surprising that the prices of basic necessities will not stop increasing. I think the value of the fiat that we currently hold is slowly continuing to decline in value. And this convinced me not to keep my savings in fiat.

If one pays closer attention, even now the Rupiah exchange rate against the Dollar is also weakening. But usually this will go up and down at certain periods. But currently 1 Dollar is still staying at a level above Rp. 15,000 Rupiah for quite a long time. This could indicate a sign regarding the Indonesian economy.

But I'm not too worried about that. Because I am more worried about the climate which is still hot in my area. And because I shop at the market quite regularly, I keep paying attention to market prices and sometimes see the stock of certain types of food starting to decline. The price is rising because availability is not commensurate with customer demand. I even have to water some of the vegetables that I plant in my yard at home regularly. One day I forgot to water the plants and the next day my plants turned blonde due to the heat. So now I even started shopping for vegetables from the market. Even though I usually have vegetables available in my small garden.

Governments can print money, which raises prices, even food. The need for energy advances is clear. Fusion energy and new batteries could transform the energy sector and other industries, improving efficiency and possibly stabilizing prices

You're optimistic about Bitcoin for good cause. Its decentralization and lack of third-party control reduce government power. If properly integrated into the global economy, it might be a stable currency. However, this is a major change that will provide substantial problems and oppositions. The path ahead is lengthy and unpredictable

In my country have rained last week. But that was a few weeks ago. And only light rain which seems to be the same in many other areas too. But unfortunately until now the weather is actually getting hotter here. But it doesn't seem as hot as where you are. Because it seems like your place is very hot so the vegetables can turn yellow in just one day. that doesn't happen in my area. Maybe you are in the lowlands where the climate usually feels hotter. Meanwhile, my area is in the highlands.
