Inflation, lack of raw materials, crop failures: in autumn and winter, consumers will experience a real price explosion for food.
You have probably already noticed it in your expenses: The prices for food *, but also heating, electricity and fuel have risen significantly - and the winter ahead could still be expensive.
One of the reasons: inflation.
As reported by the Federal Statistical Office, the inflation rate for September was 4.1 percent - the highest inflation rate in 28 years.
Pasta up to 30 percent more expensive: Are there any threats of empty supermarket shelves?
From Buitoni to Albgold: According to the
Tagesschau,
several German and foreign pasta manufacturers have
announced
price increases of up to 30 percent
. The main reasons for this are crop failures in durum wheat: drought, heat, floods and a wet summer have led to enormous failures in important growing regions in various countries. As a result, the price of durum wheat almost tripled, according to the Association of the Grain, Milling and Starch Industry (VGMS). It is currently still unclear to what extent supermarkets
pass
the
increased prices on to customers
.
Price disputes between brand manufacturers and supermarket chains could also lead to empty pasta shelves, as a recent conflict between the manufacturer Riesa and the Kaufland Group showed: the shelves with Riesa pasta were then empty.
Our tip:
just make your own pasta.
That's how it's done.
According to
Chip.de
,
price increases are
also
imminent
for
ready-made pizzas
and chocolate
.
Here the higher production costs are passed on to customers.
As
Welt.de
reports,
coffee and milk
have also become more expensive, as consumers in the supermarket are likely to have noticed.
But an even bigger wave of inflation is still to be expected.
Fruit and vegetables are becoming more expensive
Price increases are also to be expected
for
vegetables and fruit
, and not only due to seasonal factors, such as tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce, which are out of season in autumn and are therefore more expensive.
Price increases can also be expected for typical autumn and winter vegetables such as pumpkins and cabbage.
Farmers also report a disappointing
potato harvest
as a result of the weather in 2021. This has an impact on prices.

Seasonal shopping: You shouldn't buy these fruits and vegetables in winter.
Price increase for eggs: 6 cents more expensive - per egg
From January 2022, higher prices can also be expected for eggs.
This is a consequence of the chick shredding, which will be prohibited by law from 2022, and the male chicks will then have to be reared.
According to the
chip
, surcharges of up to 6 cents would be possible - per egg.
You would then
pay 60 cents more
for a 10-pack of eggs
.
But the higher prices do not only have consequences for the buyers in the supermarket: with more expensive baking ingredients such as butter, milk and eggs, bakeries will probably also have to raise their
prices for bread
and co.
