Cost of the Revised Northern Food Basket in 2025-2026
Table of contents
Overview
The tables below present the estimated cost of the Revised Northern Food Basket (RNFB) for communities eligible under the Nutrition North Canada (NNC) program. The RNFB represents the estimated weekly cost of a nutritious diet for a reference family of four.
To support longer-term trend analysis, this report includes RNFB cost estimates from March 2011 alongside results from the most recently completed fiscal year.
In communities eligible for the full retail subsidy under Nutrition North Canada, the average cost of the Revised Northern Food Basket (RNFB) increased by $15 (2.6%) between March 2025 and March 2026. Compared with March 2011, the average RNFB cost in March 2025 was $174 (40.8%) higher. Over the same periods, Statistics Canada reported a 4.4% increase in food prices purchased from stores elsewhere in Canada and a cumulative increase of 46% since 2011. Overall, 53 of the 124 eligible communities recorded an RNFB growth rate lower than the 4.4% Consumer Price Index increase for food purchased outside the program over the same period.
Notes
- The Revised Northern Food Basket (RNFB) reflects the cost of a standardized nutritious food basket for a reference family of four. It does not capture all food purchasing behaviours, traditional food harvesting, or household-specific dietary preferences.
- The cost of the RNFB is calculated using food price data submitted by retailers registered with the Nutrition North Canada (NNC) program that operate physical stores in eligible communities.
- The Annual Price Submission Coverage (percentage) indicates the share of RNFB item prices drawn directly from retailer-submitted data, as opposed to internally estimated substitute prices. Where a community lacked a submitted price for a given item in a given month, the program's established substitute price methodology was applied to fill the gap. Coverage was calculated monthly for each community and retailer, and the figure presented represents the annual average of those monthly rates.
- RNFB costs are not reported for communities where:
- no local retailers are registered with the NNC program and stores access the subsidy through eligible suppliers; or
- price data provided could not be used consistently or accurately to calculate RNFB costs; or
- the community is classified as seasonal and pricing data are available only during limited periods of the year.
- Seasonally eligible communities qualify for the Nutrition North Canada subsidy only during certain times of the year, typically due to seasonal variations in transportation availability.
- "not available" indicates that no reliable or sufficient pricing data were available for the community.
