There are figures from Statistics Norway who presented new numbers now at eight. The so -called consumer price index shows that food prices rose by 1.8 per cent from January to February this year. – Everything over a couple of percent is strong price growth, says food researcher Ivar Pettersen to news. The total prices in society increase by 3.6 per cent from January to February this year. From February 2024 to February 2025, food prices increase by 7.5 per cent There is no doubt that it will be more expensive and more expensive to shop in the store. The research institute SIFO has found that food prices for an average family have increased by 33 per cent in three years. Usually, food prices in February due to the suppliers and grocery chains rise their annual price adjustment. Although some goods that are judged chocolate tend to become cheaper before Easter, Pettersen awaits a noticeable growth. – I still think that the food prize flood is relatively clear above the goal that Norway’s bank has for price increases. – How much are you expecting food prices to rise this year? – My guess will be about as in 2024, that we come out between 3.5 and 4.5 percent, says Pettersen.
