The annual Ulster Bank Ulster Fry Index shows that the price of all items making up the cooked breakfast gauge rose in the year to the end of February, using the UK Retail Price Index (RPI).
Milk saw the biggest price increase in the index with a rise of 16.7% in the 12-months. There were also strong rises in the prices of a range of other items including eggs (8.2%), butter (6%), mushrooms (7.1%), bread (5.6%) and sausages (4.3%).
We’re all currently cooking our breakfasts at home rather than eating them in cafes and restaurants, but we’re at least enjoying lower prices relative to last year when we do so. That’s according to the latest Ulster Bank’s Ulster Fry Index.
In Northern Ireland, farming always takes centre stage during May, when all of the sector’s actors come together for the biggest show in town. Balmoral provides the opportunity to reflect on the performance of the industry since the last show and to look forward to the seasons ahead.
