Prices for veggies, poultry, beef, and veal expected to increase, USDA says
Compared to previous years, U.S. food prices are expected to continue to decrease in 2024, said the Economic Research Service, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, on its website.
The findings were part of the agency’s Food Price Outlook for 2024 and 2025, which measures economy-wide inflation.
The service’s website was updated in late September and according to the recent update, food prices will likely increase in 2025. These increases in food costs will happen slowly compared to the historical average growth rate, the service said.
Next year, food-at-home prices are expected to increase 0.8% while food-away-from-home prices may increase 3.1%.
