The latest FIE Input Cost Index shows a decline for the second week in a row. This downward trend is largely attributed to shifts in shipping expenses.

According to Food Industry Executive, the Freightos Baltic Index fell by 5 per cent, which served as the primary driver for the overall move in the cost index.
