Food prices are again rising in Israel, and not just on rice (a single bag of rice went up from NIS 8 to NIS 13).

On average I would say that the average price for food products (especially staple products) in the supermarkets rose at least 10%-15% in the past two months. I don't have documented statistical data to back it up, other than the price tags on some new and old items I happen to have, and my rising weekly shopping bill.

Again, Israel's very large weak sector is tremendously hurt by this.

This is very disturbing.
