４月の食品値上げ４２２５品目　ビール、食用油など―帝国データ

　帝国データバンクは３１日、主要食品メーカー１９５社の価格改定動向調査を発表した。４月に値上げされる飲食料品はビールや食用油、ハムなどの食肉加工品を中心に４２２５品目。単月の値上げ品目数は、１月以降、４カ月連続で前年同月を上回り、２０２３年１０月以来１年半ぶりに４０００品目を超えた。
　調査担当者は「賃上げに伴う人件費の増加や物流費上昇が値上げの要因として強まっている」と指摘。今年の年間累計の値上げ品目数は前年の１万２５２０品目を上回る公算で、「最大で２万品目前後に到達する」と見込む。（2025/03/31-10:34）

Major food and beverage makers are planning markups for 4,225 products in Japan in April, Teikoku Databank Ltd. said Monday.
   The number of food and beverage items subject to price hikes will go up year on year for the fourth straight month to top 4,000 for the first time since October 2023, the private research firm's survey showed.
   "Rising wages and logistics costs are increasingly putting upward pressure on prices," a Teikoku Databank official said, forecasting price hikes for around 20,000 products in total this year, up sharply from 12,520 the previous year.
   Among the 195 companies, all leading producers of beers and quasi-beers will increase prices for the first time in one and a half years. Asahi Breweries Ltd. will raise shipping prices for the Super Dry beer and 225 other products, and Suntory Spirits Ltd. will lift the price of the 350-milliliter "Kinmugi" beer-like drink to around 196 yen from around 184 yen for sale at convenience stores.
   Hams and sausages made by Prima Meat Packers Ltd. and Marudai Food Co. will also weigh more on family finances, and so will edible oils including the 1-liter Nisshin Canola Oil of Nisshin Oillio Group Ltd., whose sale price will go up some 11 pct.
