Higher food prices have been a cause for concern for many Singaporeans since early last year, especially because of supply chain issues all over the globe due to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as Russia’s attack on Ukraine on Feb 24, 2022.

Data from the Department of Statistics says that food prices went up for ten consecutive months ending in December 2022, and hawker food inflation has been especially high, rising to a 14-year high of 8.1 per cent from February 2022. /TISG
