Supermarket bosses have warned Vladimir Putin’s restriction on grain exports from Ukraine could impact efforts to reduce food price inflation in the UK. <\/p>\n

The significant surge in food prices looks to be easing due to lessening supply limitations caused by the pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2020.<\/p>\n

Food costs increased by 11.5 percent in August 2023, compared to the same month in 2022, according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC).<\/p>\n

This is a significant slowdown from the 13.4 percent gain reported in July, and the lowest rate since September 2022.<\/p>\n

The BRC, an organisation which represents retailers including supermarkets, said price pressure is particulary noticeable in the sectors including meat, potatoes, and certain cooking oils.<\/p>\n

But Russia’s decision to terminate an arrangement which allowed limited exports from Ukrainian ports could jeopardise progress. <\/p>\n

The British Retail Consortium’s chief executive, Helen Dickinson, expressed fears that Russia’s actions might impact the reduction in food inflation.<\/p>\n

She told the Telegraph: “While inflation is on course to continue to fall thanks to retailers\u2019 efforts, there are supply chain risks for retailers to navigate.<\/p>\n

“Russia\u2019s withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative and its targeting of Ukrainian grain facilities, as well as poor harvests across Europe and beyond, could serve as potential roadblocks to lower inflation.<\/p>\n

“A potential \u00a3400m hike to business rates bills from next April would certainly jeopardise efforts to tackle inflation unless the Chancellor intervenes.”<\/p>\n

Furthermore, she said tax changes had increased consumer pressure by generating price increases in specific drink sectors, adding: “These [inflation] figures would have been lower still, had the Government not increased alcohol duties earlier this month.\u201d<\/p>\n

After initially driving up wholesale natural gas prices, fears of labour strikes at Australian LNG export facilities have faded.<\/p>\n

But price changes due to unexpected world events highlights the danger that individuals and companies could face this winter.<\/p>\n
