When you look at row crops and grains in the Table-2 breakdown of food prices the input price cost is easy to spot.
Annualizing the price outcomes, we see:
Flour at +60% in June and +38% in July.
Bread overall at +19% in June, and +34% in July.
Crackers at 12% in June, and +40% in July.
Massive food inflation incoming, the 3rd wave, as all the energy, fertilizer, labor and other jacked up input costs come home to roost. No pun intended.
