Bad weather worldwide and rising demand has pushed up the cost of wheat and animal feed.
Now farmers are warning that they will go to the wall if the supermarkets do not put up their prices.
A loaf will rise by 8p bringing the cost of a Hovis large white sliced to £1.05. Pork could increase by up to 17p a pack and 12 to 15p a kilo for chicken and the same hike for a dozen eggs.
