would be nice if there were comparative charts for other countries for similar products.
IMO the rise has been 3.x higher or more in US and EU.

We in India were largely insulated from roaring food inflation that the West saw particularly after Russia invaded Ukraine.

A lot of shorts including posts on Twitter to this day talk about how expensive food has become in the US and the burger patty at McD has become a third of what it used to be. People cribbing about what $10 fetches them and how they hardly have any money left working 5-6 hours after factoring in cost of a meal and gas.

But but.. India being India, #MudiShudRejine.

Couldn't find 2019 graph. But US looks pretty normal 8-13% CAGR like ours.

Inflation in the west is more than double their official figures. It's easily 10-15%. Every category of consumer goods and services is rising at that rate, including groceries and rent. Their official figures intentionally muddle up stats by being extremely inconsistent with what products they're measuring the price of.

Taking their real inflation into account, they are already in recession since real growth is negative. All their GDP growth figures are bogus.
