Generally, food prices are 'rising' not because of increasing costs but due to inflation. Inflation does not reflect a real price increase (that is, it is not becoming more costly to make food) but rather a general increase in the price levels. In some specific time periods, food prices due rise but usually due to war, famine, or other problematic conditions which affect supply.
