由於食品價格上漲繼續給結賬帶來衝擊，許多加拿大人正在努力調整雜貨店的消費習慣。
然而，一項研究顯示，在全球範圍內，加拿大的食品價格卻出人意料地是最低的。
電子商務平台 Ubuy 5 月份發布的一份報告將加拿大的食品通脹率與美國、英國、澳大利亞和歐盟進行了比較。 研究人員收集了過去 12 個月、三年和五年三個不同時間段的數據，發現幾個國家的食品通脹範圍有所不同。
報告發現，全球平均食品通脹在過去 12 個月中增長了 18.2%，在過去三年中增長了 30.8%，在過去五年中增長了 36.3%。
英國和歐盟的通脹率最高，在過去 12 個月中均上漲了 19.6%。 據報道，食品通脹最高的國家是匈牙利，在 12 個月期間上漲了 45.1%。 相反，食品通脹最低的國家是歐盟國家塞浦路斯，增幅為 6.1%。
加拿大相比如何？
報告顯示，盡管加拿大食品價格在2022年創下新高，但與其他國家相比，加拿大食品通脹率在世界上排名第二低的國家。
過去 12 個月，加拿大的增長率為 8.9%，比全球平均水平低近 10%。 報告顯示，過去三年平均增長 21%，過去五年平均增長 25.1%。
報告稱，雜貨店價格漲幅最高的是食用油（不包括橄欖油），橄欖油在 12 個月內上漲了 19.3%，在 5 年內上漲了 50% 以上。
麵食產品也在 12 個月內增長了 14.2%，在 5 年內增長了 37.1%。
相比之下，麵包、雞蛋、奶酪和黃油等產品的漲幅為全球最高，其中斯洛伐克的雞蛋價格漲幅為過去 12 個月來最大。 加拿大的增幅為 11.8%。
與此同時，報告稱，美國被列為總體食品價格通脹率最低的國家，該國報告過去 12 個月內上漲 8.5%，三年內上漲 24.1%，五年內上漲 26.4%。
方法
Ubuy 的報告收集了 2023 年 4 月來自歐盟、英國、美國、澳大利亞和加拿大國家的數據。 該報告包含了典型家庭購物籃中必不可少的產品的數據。 價格通脹計算為 2023 年平均指數值與 2022 年（12 個月通脹）、2019 年（疫情以來的通脹）和 2018 年（五年期通脹）同期平均指數值之間的相對百分比差異。 通貨膨脹）。 年度指數值是使用給定年份中各個價格指數值的平均數進行匯總的。 2023 年，平均指數值基於該年前 3 個月的價格指數。 為了估計哪些產品價格上漲幅度最大，我們對數據集中所有國家/地區的指數值的平均漲幅進行了計算。

Many Canadians are struggling to adjust spending habits at the grocery store as food inflation continues to bring sticker shock at the checkout.
On a global scale however, Canadian food prices are surprisingly among the lowest, according to one study.
A report published in May by e-commerce platform Ubuy compared Canadian food inflation rates to the U.S., U.K., Australia and the European Union. Gathering data from three separate timeframes over the past 12 months, three years and five years, researchers were able to find food inflation ranges differently among several nations.
Globally, the report found on average food inflation increased by 18.2 per cent in the last 12 months, 30.8 per cent in the last three years and 36.3 per cent in the last five.
The U.K. and European Union saw the highest inflation spike with both seeing a jump of 19.6 per cent over the last 12 months. The country with the highest reported food inflation was Hungary with an increase of 45.1 per cent during the 12-month period. Conversely, the nation with the lowest food inflation was the EU nation of Cyprus, which saw an increase of 6.1 per cent.
HOW DOES CANADA COMPARE?
Despite Canadian food prices reaching new heights in 2022, in comparison to other nations, Canada ranked the second lowest nation in the world for food inflation rate, according to the report.
Over the last 12 months, Canada reported an increase of 8.9 per cent, nearly 10 per cent less than the global average. The report shows an average increase of 21 per cent was seen over the last three years and a 25.1 per cent increase was reported in the last five years.
According to the report, grocery store items that saw the highest price increases were edible oils, excluding olive oil, which jumped 19.3 per cent in 12 months and more than 50 per cent in five years.
Pasta products also increased by 14.2 per cent in 12 months and 37.1 per cent in five years.
In comparison, products like bread, eggs, cheese and butter saw the highest increase globally, with Slovakia seeing the largest price increase on eggs in the last 12 months. Canada reported an increase of 11.8 per cent.
Meanwhile, the U.S. was ranked the nation with the lowest overall food price inflation with the country reporting an increase of 8.5 per cent in 12 months, 24.1 per cent in three years and 26.4 per cent in five years, according to the report.

METHODOLOGY
Ubuy's report gathered data in April 2023 from countries in the European Union, U.K., as well as the U.S., Australia and Canada. The report included data on products considered essential in a typical household's grocery basket. Inflation in prices was calculated as a relative percentage difference between the average index value in 2023, compared to the average index value in the same period of 2022 (12-month inflation), 2019 (inflation since the pandemic), and 2018 (five year inflation). Annual index values were aggregated using the mean average of the respective price index values across a given year. For 2023, the average index value is based on price indices for the first 3 months of the year. To estimate which products went up in price the most, the average per cent increase in index value was taken across all the countries in the dataset.
