Sainsbury's CEO, Simon Roberts, has called for the UK government to support the food sector to offset high energy costs caused by the Iran war and keep a lid on grocery inflation. This comes as Britain is particularly exposed to the surge in energy prices following the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran. Roberts, who has a 15.6% share in the UK grocery market, noted that other energy-intensive industries have already received some support by the government. He suggested that the government should support the entire food sector, including farmers and grow.
