According to Jin10 Data on May 27, U.S. food prices rose at their fastest pace in four years in April, driven by adverse weather, tariffs, and declining cattle inventory. The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts food prices will increase 3.2% in 2026, while Ricky Volpe, a professor of agricultural economics at Cal Poly State University, expects actual inflation to reach 4% to 4.5%. Volpe noted that Iran-related disruptions and potential El Niño weather patterns may sustain upward price pressure through 2027.
