Analysts: another food price surge possible in Q4 2026

Analysts at the Institute of Agricultural Economics (IERiGŻ) warn that rising cost pressures in farming may translate into sharp food price increases by the fourth quarter of 2026. Additional risk factors include trade disruptions linked to the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, which push up fuel, gas and fertilizer prices. This worsens farm profitability and may accelerate price growth in stores.
