Destatis reported: "The wholesale prices particularly of coffee, tea, cocoa and spices were much higher than a year earlier (+22.2%)," noting a substantial spike in prices for those staple commodities. The agency added: "Sugar, confectionery and bakery products also cost more than in the same month of the previous year (+14.6%)."
