食品伙伴网讯 据外媒报道,加拿大一份研究报告称,2016年食品支出增加的局面不会有所改善,加元贬值已导致价格更高。2016年消费者将面临更高的商品价格。
据报道,贵湖大学食品研究所(University of Guelph's Food Institute)估计,加拿大家庭今年的食品开支平均增加了325元;但是到2016年,还会再增加345元。
沙勒布瓦(Sylvain Charlebois)教授领导的研究小组预测,2016年的食品通胀为2-4%,远高于统计局预测的平均通胀率,而这是在2015年的食品帐单已经上涨了4.1%的基础上进一步的上涨。
沙勒布瓦指出,加拿大的食品通胀在工业国家中是唯一超过2.5%的国家,欧洲国家的食品通胀仅为1%左右,美国的通胀率也比加拿大低得多。而当前处于历史低位的加元更会造成食品价格走高。

If a trip to the grocery store seems expensive now, just wait till 2016.
Executives from grocery chains have warned there's no immediate relief in sight from increased food costs and a sinking loonie that have led to higher prices, and researchers suggest consumers will have to deal with more sticker shock in the year ahead.
The University of Guelph's Food Institute estimates the average Canadian household spent an additional $325 on food this year. On top of that, consumers should expect an additional annual increase of about $345 in 2016.
