Here are just another two articles from the last two days:

“AGRICULTURAL commodity prices are spiralling upwards, with the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP) at the University of Pretoria warning that prices for maize meal and bread over the next 18 months could increase as much as 10% and 20% respectively”
And
Price-wary consumers pressure retailers (link)
“PRICE remains the most important consideration for consumers, which puts pressure on food retailers to ensure low prices do not compromise environmental and social standards and, ultimately, bring about the collapse of local suppliers, according to research by investment managers Arisaig Partners.”
