Its the holigan bears! I will later get my ham but not tinned, see what the local market has sliced up. BTW, on topic in the supermarkets in the Baltics prices are somewhat stable.
not zero. trucking costs money. I pay 600 for about 2 to 3 tonne truckload. our production area is 8km away from the mill. they do sell it out west where factories exist but the logistics costs are a bit problematic.
that said if you have a good 10 mil plus usd for investing in a proper factory, we could have a chat thatâs the real itâs not done in this area as of yet. but one would think the deep government pockets would be into it. maybe once China blockades our waters and we go full Cuba we will get on it until then, fibers, mushrooms, fertilizers.
luckily we arenât nearly as into bread as Korea, Japan etc. we might get screwed on noodles. but I have faith the instant noodle cartels are stronger than some governments and they will find a way taiwan has already pushed for growing wheat and other grains here instead of wheat for a decade or so. due to taiwans water crisis, not nazis.
In the UK McDonaldâs are increasing the price of their cheeseburger for the first time in 14 years. Either their margins used to be enormous to allow for 14 years of inflation, or they were regularly reducing the cost of the ingredients.
Ingredients are one of the least expensive expenditures for McDonalds.
Inflation is impacting everyone, if they raised the wage as many have done, then that would be more impactful than the ingredients, although no doubt that compounds things further, just not as a single determining factor. Energy prices have increased too, significantly.
