It's not just sunflower oil that is becoming more and more expensive - the prices of other foods such as meat or butter are also exploding due to the pandemic, inflation and war.

Munich – Many know this brief moment when you are shopping in the supermarket.

You think: Can this purchase really be that expensive or has something gone wrong?

Most of the time no mistake happened.

Everything is more expensive right now.

After sunflower oil, it's now the turn of the schnitzel: meat products are up to 20 percent more expensive

This development doesn't seem to be getting any better: after the sharp increase in the price of sunflower oil, most meat products are now becoming significantly more expensive.

Meat is becoming more expensive: both supermarkets and discounters are raising prices

The reason for the rising prices are complex.

Overall, the costs of agricultural production are increasing due to several factors: inflation, supply bottlenecks, shortages of raw materials, the war in Ukraine and the pandemic are driving up costs.

So farmers have to raise their prices to cover their costs.

And the price increase reaches consumers via the supermarkets.

Meat substitute products are also becoming much more expensive: the price is sometimes 30 percent higher

Supermarkets such as Edeka and Rewe or discounters such as Netto and Aldi also increase prices on other products.

Meat substitutes are also becoming more expensive.

This is mainly due to the fact that soy, peas, beetroot and other plant-based foods have also become significantly more expensive in the last year.

Focus Online

is assuming a 30 percent price increase.
