Descripción:	Abstract: This article explores inflation and the possible causes of price increases in food and agricultural products in the last twenty years, divided into two decades. Between 2007 and 2016, food prices rose more than in the previous ten years and above the nationwide consumer price index (IPCA). Changes in the pattern of food inflation have already been reported but the real cause of price increases has not been addressed which is this paper´s objective. Due to public policies of income rise with real gains in the minimum wage, family allowances, and retirement grants, the population did not perceive this silent crisis of food price increase. Because of China’s economic boom and income rise in Brazil, there was a positive impact on domestic production and demand in the last decade. However, Brazilian agriculture did not present a significant increase in productivity, which may increase prices. Technology use and a consequent higher productivity could result in lower food prices, but this was not been observed recently in several Brazilian agricultural products
