Food prices likely to rise due to Iran war, farmers’ union says

The National Farmers’ Union has cautioned that consumers may see an increase in the cost of staple produce, including cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers, in the coming six weeks. This projected price hike is attributed to the ongoing conflict in Iran, which is understood to be disrupting supply chains and impacting agricultural markets. The union’s statement highlights potential volatility in food prices as a direct consequence of geopolitical instability.
