According to the results of a recent survey in Japan, the prices of about 3,000 kinds of food will rise in Japan in October, and the number of food items that have increased in price is likely to hit a new high in a single month since this year. The Imperial Japanese Database Company conducted a survey of major food and beverage manufacturers across the country and inquired about their intention to increase prices. The results show that prices for about 3,000 kinds of food will increase in October, including meat products, cooking oil, snacks, and milk powder. Among them, the highest increase in the price of some beverages was 36%, the highest increase in the price of snacks was 22%, and the price of some food has increased twice this year. According to this company, the month with the highest number of food price increases in Japan since this year was April, with 2,897 varieties. It is expected that the number of food that has increased in price in October will hit a new high this year. Prices for about 15,000 kinds of food are expected to increase throughout the year. According to Japanese media analysis, this round of food “price increases” are related to factors such as the depreciation of the yen and rising costs of raw materials, labor, and logistics. Last year, due to factors such as the sharp rise in raw material prices and the depreciation of the yen increasing import costs, the price of more than 32,000 kinds of food rose in Japan, the highest number in 30 years.
