With Heritage Day or National Braai Day right around the corner, it is the perfect time to host a braai – especially since the cost thereof continues to fall,, which serves as an early indicator of where food inflation may be going, the month-on-month cost of hosting a braai decreased by 0.8%. Compared to year-on-year , prices fell by 3.2% and continue to show a declining trend.
In July, the annual rate for Food NAB was 4.5%, a slight decrease from 4.6% in June. The lowest level was recorded at 3.8% in September 2020. Between July 2024 and August 2024, the Household Food Basket’s average cost dropped by R25.01 to R5,227.14. In August 2023, the basket went up from R5,124.34 to R102.80 .‘Meat is the most heavily weighed food group in the inflation basket, accounting for just over a third of household food spending,’ Stats SA said.
‘This suggests that the YoY price gains are likely driven by a boost in export activity, which has supported overall market stability,’ the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy said.
