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

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.

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.

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]

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.

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.

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.

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
