Subject: Re: Turkey Prices UP 40%
Experts said the bird flu outbreaks earlier this year hit turkey farms particularly hard, leading to fewer birds available and pushing wholesale prices higher.

Okay, that explains turkeys, now do...

Coffee: Prices have increased significantly, up nearly 19-21% in the year to September 2025, partly due to a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil, a major supplier.

Beef/Veal: Prices are up more than 14% over the past year. Ground beef prices were nearly $8 per pound in August 2025, up from $7.11 in January.

Orange Juice: Prices have jumped 29% year-on-year.

Bananas: Prices for this typically stable item increased by 4.9% from April to August 2025, an unusual jump for a product almost entirely imported and subject to new tariffs.

Apparel: Prices have seen increases around 8.99 percentage points relative to pre-tariff trends.

Furniture/Household Textiles: Imported furniture, which is heavily reliant on imports, has seen prices go up significantly, by about 6.5% and 6.2% respectively relative to pre-tariff trends.

Televisions and Toys: Both have seen price increases (around 3.1% and 2.5% respectively since April 2025), breaking a long-standing downward trend in prices for these goods.
