The price of food and other basic commodities will soon rise in many places around the world. What are some commodities that are produced domestically or will remain inexpensive where you live? What do you expect will become more expensive? Please include your country of origin or region of the world in your reply.

As an American, it used to be fossil fuels. I’d go elsewhere and it’d be 3x the price. But lately we seem to be catching up. One thing where we’re still likely cheaper are high-end electronics. At least, it looks like the iPhone is still cheaper in the US than almost anywhere else. I remember living abroad a few years ago, colleagues would ask if I could buy an iPhone or Mac on Christmas break and bring it back to them lol
