SA food producer price inflation accelerates to 0.9% y/y
Published: 14/12/2017
The headline food producer price inflation for November accelerated to 0.9% y/y from 0.4% y/y in October. The key driver of this uptick is mainly an acceleration in meat and dairy products prices. From the meat perspective, the increase is in turn driven by higher live animals’ prices, whereas dairy products prices have largely been following seasonal trends. Apart from that, other products producer prices remain at relatively lower levels, reflecting a good harvest of the 2016/17 production season.
