Prices of 143 products from 195 major food and beverage makers in Japan are set to rise in November, down 58.4% from a year earlier and marking the first decline in 11 months, Teikoku Databank said Friday.<\/p>\n
By category, confectionery items such as chocolate and cookies topped the list, with 49 items, the research firm said. Shipment prices will increase about 5-15% for 16 Fujiya products, including Milky Chocolate Bag.<\/p>\n
Prices of 46 processed food items will go up. Hagoromo Foods and Marumiya will raise the prices of retort pouches and other products.<\/p>\n
According to Teikoku Databank, the total number of items for which prices have been raised this year stood at 20,580 as of the end of October.<\/p>\n
Regarding the trend for next year and later, a Teikoku Databank official said that “there’s a possibility sustained price hikes will continue” due to increases in labor costs reflecting wage hikes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prices of 143 products from 195 major food and beverage makers in Japan are set to rise in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":115283,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[72,113,426,61,1095,60,28392,17878,22122],"class_list":["post-115282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-business","tag-economy","tag-food","tag-ie","tag-inflation","tag-ireland","tag-snacks","tag-surveys","tag-wages"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115282"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115282\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
