September Food Price Trends for 8 Commodities
The prices of several food commodities in Egypt increased during September, including poultry, eggs, wheat, flour, pasta, sugar, plant-based cheese, and lentils. This rise was driven by increased demand, higher production costs, the effects of global prices, and expenses related to shipping and imports. The consumer price for a kilogram of poultry reached approximately 80 to 85 Egyptian pounds, with demand rising at the start of the school year. Meanwhile, the price of a carton of eggs jumped to about 110 pounds due to increased production costs. The price of a ton of wheat rose to around 16,500 pounds, while flour prices ranged between 17,000 and 21,000 pounds per ton. Pasta prices increased by about 2 to 3 pounds per kilogram, and sugar prices went up by roughly 4,000 pounds per ton, reaching between 25,000 and 26,000 pounds. Additionally, plant-based cheese prices climbed due to higher input costs, and lentil prices experienced a seasonal increase from 36,500 to 38,000 pounds per ton, despite adequate supply. These movements confirm that multiple factors are behind the price hikes, including global costs, seasonal variations, and shifts in both international and local markets, all of which influence the prices of essential commodities for consumers.
