由于食品价格上涨继续给结账带来冲击，许多加拿大人正在努力调整杂货店的消费习惯。
然而，一项研究显示，在全球范围内，加拿大的食品价格却出人意料地是最低的。
电子商务平台 Ubuy 5 月份发布的一份报告将加拿大的食品通胀率与美国、英国、澳大利亚和欧盟进行了比较。 研究人员收集了过去 12 个月、三年和五年三个不同时间段的数据，发现几个国家的食品通胀范围有所不同。
报告发现，全球平均食品通胀在过去 12 个月中增长了 18.2%，在过去三年中增长了 30.8%，在过去五年中增长了 36.3%。
英国和欧盟的通胀率最高，在过去 12 个月中均上涨了 19.6%。 据报道，食品通胀最高的国家是匈牙利，在 12 个月期间上涨了 45.1%。 相反，食品通胀最低的国家是欧盟国家塞浦路斯，增幅为 6.1%。
加拿大相比如何？
报告显示，尽管加拿大食品价格在2022年创下新高，但与其他国家相比，加拿大食品通胀率在世界上排名第二低的国家。
过去 12 个月，加拿大的增长率为 8.9%，比全球平均水平低近 10%。 报告显示，过去三年平均增长 21%，过去五年平均增长 25.1%。
报告称，杂货店价格涨幅最高的是食用油（不包括橄榄油），橄榄油在 12 个月内上涨了 19.3%，在 5 年内上涨了 50% 以上。
面食产品也在 12 个月内增长了 14.2%，在 5 年内增长了 37.1%。
相比之下，面包、鸡蛋、奶酪和黄油等产品的涨幅为全球最高，其中斯洛伐克的鸡蛋价格涨幅为过去 12 个月来最大。 加拿大的增幅为 11.8%。
与此同时，报告称，美国被列为总体食品价格通胀率最低的国家，该国报告过去 12 个月内上涨 8.5%，三年内上涨 24.1%，五年内上涨 26.4%。
方法
Ubuy 的报告收集了 2023 年 4 月来自欧盟、英国、美国、澳大利亚和加拿大国家的数据。 该报告包含了典型家庭购物篮中必不可少的产品的数据。 价格通胀计算为 2023 年平均指数值与 2022 年（12 个月通胀）、2019 年（疫情以来的通胀）和 2018 年（五年期通胀）同期平均指数值之间的相对百分比差异。 通货膨胀）。 年度指数值是使用给定年份中各个价格指数值的平均数进行汇总的。 2023 年，平均指数值基于该年前 3 个月的价格指数。 为了估计哪些产品价格上涨幅度最大，我们对数据集中所有国家/地区的指数值的平均涨幅进行了计算。

Many Canadians are struggling to adjust spending habits at the grocery store as food inflation continues to bring sticker shock at the checkout.
On a global scale however, Canadian food prices are surprisingly among the lowest, according to one study.
A report published in May by e-commerce platform Ubuy compared Canadian food inflation rates to the U.S., U.K., Australia and the European Union. Gathering data from three separate timeframes over the past 12 months, three years and five years, researchers were able to find food inflation ranges differently among several nations.
Globally, the report found on average food inflation increased by 18.2 per cent in the last 12 months, 30.8 per cent in the last three years and 36.3 per cent in the last five.
The U.K. and European Union saw the highest inflation spike with both seeing a jump of 19.6 per cent over the last 12 months. The country with the highest reported food inflation was Hungary with an increase of 45.1 per cent during the 12-month period. Conversely, the nation with the lowest food inflation was the EU nation of Cyprus, which saw an increase of 6.1 per cent.
HOW DOES CANADA COMPARE?
Despite Canadian food prices reaching new heights in 2022, in comparison to other nations, Canada ranked the second lowest nation in the world for food inflation rate, according to the report.
Over the last 12 months, Canada reported an increase of 8.9 per cent, nearly 10 per cent less than the global average. The report shows an average increase of 21 per cent was seen over the last three years and a 25.1 per cent increase was reported in the last five years.
According to the report, grocery store items that saw the highest price increases were edible oils, excluding olive oil, which jumped 19.3 per cent in 12 months and more than 50 per cent in five years.
Pasta products also increased by 14.2 per cent in 12 months and 37.1 per cent in five years.
In comparison, products like bread, eggs, cheese and butter saw the highest increase globally, with Slovakia seeing the largest price increase on eggs in the last 12 months. Canada reported an increase of 11.8 per cent.
Meanwhile, the U.S. was ranked the nation with the lowest overall food price inflation with the country reporting an increase of 8.5 per cent in 12 months, 24.1 per cent in three years and 26.4 per cent in five years, according to the report.

METHODOLOGY
Ubuy's report gathered data in April 2023 from countries in the European Union, U.K., as well as the U.S., Australia and Canada. The report included data on products considered essential in a typical household's grocery basket. Inflation in prices was calculated as a relative percentage difference between the average index value in 2023, compared to the average index value in the same period of 2022 (12-month inflation), 2019 (inflation since the pandemic), and 2018 (five year inflation). Annual index values were aggregated using the mean average of the respective price index values across a given year. For 2023, the average index value is based on price indices for the first 3 months of the year. To estimate which products went up in price the most, the average per cent increase in index value was taken across all the countries in the dataset.
