Keeping Control on Food Costs

Last week I took a walk though arable land and could not fail to notice that all wasn't well with the wheat crops. I suppose it is not surprising and I only have to look at my own garden and see the effects of the recent dry weather.

The impact for the hospitality sector is more food inflation. Not helped by the potential banning of grain exports from Russia, floods in Canada, India and Pakistan. And the poor cereal crops have a knock on effect on meat prices as well as bread and pasta, and there are predications of price increases on soya, palm oil and cocoa too.

So is it time to check on the basics on keeping control of food costs?
