USDA forecast cited: grocery prices expected to rise about 3% in 2026
The clip quotes the U.S. Department of Agriculture as forecasting that food prices will rise about 3% in 2026. The reporter introduces the USDA projection without naming a specific USDA report or release date.

The USDA is the only named source in this portion of the clip, distinguishing the grocery-price claim from other items in the segment that reference unnamed studies or reports. The recording does not include any USDA spokesperson or supporting data beyond the 3% figure.

Food-price forecasts reflect factors such as crop yields, energy costs and supply-chain disruptions; the clip does not provide that detail. Because the USDA is named, a follow-up check with the department could confirm the projection and its report title.

The recording moves on after stating the USDA forecast; no USDA response appears in the clip.
