Argentina food prices fall 0.7% in early Sept, second-largest drop of year

Argentine food prices declined 0.7% in the first week of September, the second-largest weekly drop of 2026, driven by a 7.7% fall in baked goods, cereals, and pastas. Beverages and infusions rose 13.9%, but the four-week average slowed to 1%. This suggests easing food inflation, which may influence monetary policy expectations.
