USDA forecast cited: grocery prices expected to rise about 3% in 2026
Summary
The segment cites a USDA forecast saying food prices will rise roughly 3% in 2026; the clip names the agency but does not provide the forecast's title or release date.
The clip quotes the U.S. Department of Agriculture as forecasting that food prices will rise about 3% in 2026. The reporter introduces the USDA projection without naming a specific USDA report or release date.
The USDA is the only named source in this portion of the clip, distinguishing the grocery-price claim from other items in the segment that reference unnamed studies or reports. The recording does not include any USDA spokesperson or supporting data beyond the 3% figure.
Food-price forecasts reflect factors such as crop yields, energy costs and supply-chain disruptions; the clip does not provide that detail. Because the USDA is named, a follow-up check with the department could confirm the projection and its report title.
The recording moves on after stating the USDA forecast; no USDA response appears in the clip.
