In Japan, over 20,000 food items will rise in price by 2025.

Jin10 data, June 30 - The "Imperial Database" of Japan announced on the 30th that the number of food items that will increase prices or are planned to increase prices by 2025 will exceed 20,000, mainly in seasonings and beverages. If the actual number exceeds 20,000, it will be the first time since 2023. In July, there will be 2,105 items, increasing to about five times the same period last year. The general rise in raw material costs, logistics costs, etc., has pushed up costs, and the survey head believes that the "rise in prices is likely to continue for a period of time." The contents announced until November show that 18,697 food items have been confirmed to increase prices. "Processed foods" account for 4,138 items, and aside from frozen foods and seaweed, the soaring rice prices have also led to a significant increase in boxed rice.
