Part 2/9:
According to recent data, the average price of a cup of traditional coffee with milk in Singapore has increased by 7% compared to 2022—roughly ten Singapore cents. Over the last decade, this equates to a 26% rise since 2014. Interestingly, this increase surpasses the inflation seen in other staples such as rice, sugar, and cooking oil within the same period. The figures are derived from the Consumer Price Index, a measure of inflation, underscoring that coffee is becoming relatively more expensive than many other everyday commodities.
