It's stupid to talk of prices as doing things (rising and falling) magically all by themselves as you have done. There are real people making real decisions. Let's knock off this crap of making it seem as if no one's to blame for rising prices.
Farmers and supermarkets also don't exist in a vacuum - their prices are rising, so they pass the raise along to consumers in order to stay in business.

Not to worry - some places are recording record profits - like oil companies and insurance companies.
