As Italy’s government meets to discuss the cause of the pasta price jump, one social media user said, “I can gnocchi believe the prices, I’d re-fusilli to pay.”
Pasta producers, however, point to a rise in production costs. Energy, packaging and logistics have registered a significant hike in prices, adding to costs, said Ivana Calò, a spokeswoman for Unione Italiana Food, an industry body. The rise in costs is in line, she said, with the increase in food prices.
“The impact of pasta inflation on Italian families’ budget will be limited” since it only costs a few euros, she wrote in an email. Other experts point out that the aftershocks of the conflict in Ukraine last year, when the country’s commodity markets were greatly affected, were still being felt.“Pasta on the shelves today was produced months ago when durum wheat [was] purchased at high prices and with energy costs at the peak of the crisis,” said Michele Crippa, an Italian professor of gastronomic science.
Although the price of a box of pasta may be relatively low, the economic context in Italy means families may still feel the pinch of the increase for such a popular product. Rising prices remain a concern with the Italian economy
