Prices of 143 products from 195 major food and beverage makers in Japan are set to rise in November, down 58.4% from a year earlier and marking the first decline in 11 months, Teikoku Databank said Friday.<\/p>\n
By category, confectionery items such as chocolate and cookies topped the list, with 49 items, the research firm said. Shipment prices will increase about 5-15% for 16 Fujiya products, including Milky Chocolate Bag.<\/p>\n
Prices of 46 processed food items will go up. Hagoromo Foods and Marumiya will raise the prices of retort pouches and other products.<\/p>\n
According to Teikoku Databank, the total number of items for which prices have been raised this year stood at 20,580 as of the end of October.<\/p>\n
Regarding the trend for next year and later, a Teikoku Databank official said that “there’s a possibility sustained price hikes will continue” due to increases in labor costs reflecting wage hikes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prices of 143 products from 195 major food and beverage makers in Japan are set to rise in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[79,179,18,518,19,185,17,53274,9580,5386],"class_list":{"0":"post-156255","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-economy","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-food","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-inflation","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-snacks","16":"tag-surveys","17":"tag-wages"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115471720372245559","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
