The price indices for certain foods, such as cereal, dairy and sugar have edged down slightly, while steel and paper pulp are showing signs of stabilization. In contrast, the overall commodity price index has risen by 16.57% compared with the same period last year and by 4% since July 2025, largely driven by increases in aluminum, copper, silver and gold, meat and vegetable oils. Meanwhile, the container index has fallen by 6% in recent months, reflecting shifting import demand and a surplus of vessel capacity – and with global markets continuing to experience volatility amid broader economic uncertainties.
This Market and Business Update intends to give you an indication of the expected price development of the most important commodities within provisions and stores, freight rates, supply chain obstacles and challenges in major ports.
