Portugal food basket price fluctuations

Overview

The cost of the essential food basket monitored by the consumer protection organization Deco Proteste in Portugal has experienced fluctuations. In late August 2026, the basket, consisting of 63 goods, saw a slight weekly decrease to 252.62 euros, despite long-term price surges in items such as veal meat and cabbage since early 2022.

By early September 2026, the cost rose for a second consecutive week, reaching 255.26 euros. This increase was driven by price hikes in items such as horse mackerel, zucchini, and tuna. Long-term data indicates that since the beginning of 2022, the total cost of the basket has increased by 35.99%, with stewing beef and large cod showing significant price inflation.
