This is a supply problem.

We have supply chains disorganized because COVID, bad crops and, specially, crazy energy prices (that affect everything).

How could prices not go up?

Not to forget that good amount of things like produce was destroyed as supply chain wasn't handling it anymore. It should be clear that just that alone would result in increase of prices as the food need to be replaced with something else. As supply-demand is at least somewhat balanced. Remove from supply side do to supply chain not accepting it, the demand overall is constant, prices go up.
