How Do Global Shocks Show Up at the Grocery Store?
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of global events on grocery prices in Canada, featuring insights from industry experts.
Why does a narrow stretch of water halfway around the world matter so much? TVO Today producer Lucas Meeuse breaks down the Strait of Hormuz, a key global chokepoint, and why even the threat of disruption can rattle markets far beyond the Middle East. Then, back in Canada, we turn to food prices. Grocery inflation has eased slightly, but prices are still more than 30 per cent higher than in 2021. With pressure on households and uncertainty ahead, we look at what comes next with Feed Ontario CEO Carolyn Stewart, grocery industry advocate Gary Sands, and food economist Mike von Massow.
