MUNICH / LONDON (IT BOLTWISE) – Supermarket prices continue to rise, especially for coffee and beef. As butter prices fall, consumers are having to dig deeper into their pockets for their morning hot drink and the popular holiday steak. Experts blame climate change and structural changes in agriculture for the price increases.

Price developments in supermarkets are a constant topic of concern for many consumers. Particularly noticeable are the price increases for coffee and beef, which have become significantly more expensive in recent months. While butter prices have fallen due to falling milk prices, coffee remains an expensive pleasure. Germans, who consume an average of four cups of coffee per day, are clearly feeling the effects of the price increase. Climate change is cited as the main cause of the rising prices, as extreme weather conditions reduce crop yields and thus drive up import prices.
The price increases cannot be overlooked at the meat counter either. Beef in particular is affected by significant inflation, which affects many consumers, especially during the Christmas season. The declining demand and the closure of many agricultural businesses without successors are contributing to this development. Despite the EU Commission’s efforts to reduce bureaucracy for farmers, the situation remains tense. A good beef steak can now cost up to 50 euros, which is forcing many consumers to rethink.
However, the price changes are not limited to food. Significant price increases have also been recorded for wood and precious metals. Anyone who heats with wood must expect higher costs, as the prices for wood and cork products as well as pellets and briquettes have risen. Precious metals such as gold, platinum and silver have also experienced significant price increases, further increasing the financial burden on consumers.
The economic effects of these price increases are diverse. While some consumers are forced to adjust their consumption habits, companies are faced with rising production costs. The long-term consequences of these developments are not yet foreseeable, but they raise questions about the stability of the markets and future price developments. Experts warn that without structural changes and adaptation to climate change, price increases could continue.
