Agrimation has released its October 2022 food price monitor, which reports on the current trends in food prices across three tiers of the food chain. The report highlights a decrease in consumer prices for potatoes by 7% since July 2022, despite a 1% increase from the previous year.

Conversely, fruit prices are shown to be strongly seasonal, reflecting variations in supply and demand.
