Food prices face 'significant' rise to address costs from Iran war, warns IFA president
Food prices are expected to rise significantly in Ireland due to increased costs resulting from the Iran war and related global supply chain disruptions.
The president of the Irish Farmers' Association warns that food prices in Ireland are likely to experience a significant increase as a consequence of rising costs triggered by the ongoing conflict involving Iran. Disruptions in global supply chains, increased energy and fertiliser prices, and higher transportation costs are expected to feed through into higher prices for consumers. The impact may be particularly felt in sectors such as meat, dairy, and horticulture, which are sensitive to energy and input costs.
