Brazil’s broad consumer price index, the IPCA, increased 0.82% in September, reversing August’s 0.32% decline, according to IBGE’s September report released on October 9. Food and beverages rose 0.83% after three consecutive monthly decreases and added 0.18 percentage point to the overall index. Housing recorded the largest group increase at 2.31%, while food and beverages and transport each contributed 0.18 percentage point.

Food consumed at home rose 0.96%. Tomatoes increased 37.76%, potatoes 24.07%, onions 10.14%, rice 4.56% and meat 0.63%; whole chicken, chicken pieces and fruit declined. Within food consumed away from home, the meals sub-item rose 0.49%, compared with 0.18% in August. These are consumer-price changes during September, and the release does not attribute every food movement to a single cause.
