Food prices in Europe have seen modest increases this year, but fresh produce is rising significantly, particularly in France and southern Italy. Romania is among the countries with the highest food price hikes, according to Eurostat data. Supply issues in southern Italy have led to empty shelves in supermarkets due to transport blockages. Overall, energy costs have surged, contributing to inflation, which reached 4% in the eurozone in October. While processed food prices rose slowly, unprocessed food prices increased more sharply. Economists predict continued inflation, especially as winter approaches, impacting household budgets.
