What we're seeing is a bit of a belated catch up in Canada to the surge in global food prices we saw earlier this year," Douglas Porter, an economist with BMO Capital Markets, said. These prices are not likely to pull back quickly just because grain prices have retreated a bit "because even with the pullback in grain prices, they're still well up from a year ago," said Porter. "Partly it's just a matter of (food companies) making sure that it's not just a fluke that's going to be quickly reversed," he said.

Not only has inflation eased in booming western Canada, [Erin Weir] noted that inflation in Ontario, the province hardest hit by the weakness in the U.S. economy and the strong dollar, has fallen below the one per cent lower limit of the central bank's one-to-three-per-cent target range. The strong Canadian dollar and ongoing price war among grocers continue to offset the global rise in energy and food prices," said National Bank of Canada economist Stefane Marion, noting food price inflation in Canada is just 0.4 per cent, less than a tenth of the 4.4 per cent in the U.S. The loonie, which earlier this week surged close to parity with the U.S. dollar, retreated in the wake of the tame inflation report, ensuing rate cut projections, and weaker commodity prices, falling more than a cent...

A looming price war in the food business is welcome news for cash-strapped consumers. Grocers, on the other hand, may face some challenging times down the road, and shareholders seem to agree. Given the significant jumps in profit from Canada's main grocers this fiscal year, share prices for the main food retailers are not faring too well. Share prices for Loblaws have fallen six per cent, Metro by 1.6 per cent and Empire (Sobeys) by more than 14 per cent. Recent decisions to improve internal efficiencies could help grocers survive the forecasted rougher seas of economic deflation. Many grocers have already invested significant resources in logistical, technological and distribution capacity. The current production model, automation, removes all those links in the supply chain. The valu...
