How much have food prices gone up in the last ten years?

Over the last ten years, food prices have generally seen a significant increase, with an average rise of around 30-40% in many countries, depending on the specific food category and region. Factors contributing to this increase include supply chain disruptions, climate change impacts on agriculture, and rising production costs. In 2021 and 2022, many regions experienced even sharper spikes due to inflation and global events. As a result, consumers have faced higher grocery bills compared to a decade ago.
