Food Price Report 2016 UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH ECONOMIC BRIEF
4
Prepared by 
the
Food Institute of the University of Guelph 
12&#x2F;10&#x2F;2015
<i>&quot;In 2014,the Food Institute of the University of Guelph predicted that overall food prices in 2015 would 
rise by up to 3.0%. As stated in our revised report in February 2015, this prediction was based on a 
much stronger Canadian dollar versus the American currency. For 2015, overall food price inflationary 
patterns were consistent with our predictions. &quot;</i><p>I know you said &quot;fresh food&quot;, but it is January.  It would not be surprising that <i>some</i> prices double around this time.  I know that &quot;fresh strawberries&quot; are triple the price where I live.
