According to the leading supermarkets in Estonia, food prices have risen on average by 10 per cent since the autumn. With some products rising at a much faster rate – for example, coffee, which has risen by as much as 40 per cent in some supermarkets.

According to Rimi spokesperson Katrin Bats, the price of minced meat has risen by 5 per cent, milk and bread by 10 per cent, eggs by 20 per cent, rapseed oil by 20-30 per cent, and coffee by up to 40 per cent. 

There is a similar story at Prisma “The price of bread has risen by 5-10 per cent in Prisma. In the case of minced meat, the price has risen by a couple of per cent or so,” Kaimo Niitaru, selection and procurement director at Prisma Peremarket.

The price rises have impacted the promotional discounts offered by the supermarkets, with a move away from short-term offers to longer-term discounts on key everyday essentials.
