The latest Household Affordability Index by the Pietermaritzburg Economic Justice & Dignity group (PMBEJD) shows that food prices increased in March 2022 – while Russia’s war in Ukraine will likely worsen matters for consumers in the coming months.
The group’s basket of 44 food items increased by R94.39 to R4,450.09, up 2.2% from R4,355.70 recorded in February 2022.
The civil society initiative’s data showed that year-on-year basket prices have increased by 10.2%, far outstripping headline inflation. The cost of the average household food basket increased by R410.53 from R4,039.56 in March 2021
