The latest Foodservice Price Index report from Prestige Purchasing and CGA brings encouraging news for the foodservice industry, with inflation rates returning towards more normal levels.

Inflation as measured by the CGA Prestige Foodservice Price Index (FPI) fell below 10% in March for the first time in two years. The welcome milestone for the sector follows the largest month-on-month decline ever recorded by the Index of 1.4%.

Food price inflation in hospitality remains more than double the rate seen in the retail sector despite steady easing over the last 12 months, the new edition of the CGA Prestige Foodservice Price Index reveals.

The CGA Prestige Foodservice Price Index recorded year-on-year inflation of 12.6% in January—a drop of 1.2 percentage points from December’s rate of 13.8%. It is the seventh successive month-on-month fall in inflation as markets adjust to falling commodity pricing.
