Supermarket giants Morrisons planning Lockerbie convenience store
An application for a building in the town's High Street to be turned into a Morrisons Daily has been approved by the council. Supermarket giants Morrisons are planning to open a convenience store in Lockerbie. An application for a building in the town's High Street to be turned into a Morrisons Daily has been approved by the council. That will see a former newsagents shop beside the town hall converted into a convenience store. A heritage and access statement in support of the application from Dhiren Pancholi says the property has been empty for a number of years and is an 'eyesore' on the High Street. The application was to change the shop front – including replacing windows and signs – and make internal alterations, with the shop part of a listed building.

Italy stats bureau cuts 2025 GDP growth estimate, in line with government
ROME, June 6 (Reuters) - Italy's economy will grow by 0.6% this year, national statistics bureau ISTAT said on Friday, trimming a previous forecast of 0.8% made in December amid mounting uncertainty over the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policy. In its twice-yearly economic outlook report, ISTAT also predicted that gross domestic product (GDP) in the euro zone's third-largest economy would increase by 0.8% in 2026. ISTAT said growth this year and next will be supported entirely by domestic demand, whereas trade flows will have a negative impact in both years. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government in April halved its economic growth estimate for this year to 0.6%, after the economy expanded by 0.7% in each of the last two years. Most analysts put this year's annual growth at between 0.4% and 0.7%. In 2026, Rome sees GDP growth of 0.8%, down from the previous 1.1% target. Despite Italy's weakening economy, its labour market has held up relatively well. Data this week showed the unemployment rate falling to 5.9% in April from 6.1% in the previous month. ISTAT estimated an average jobless rate of 6.0% this year, down from 6.2% seen in December, and forecast a fall to 5.8% next year.

World food prices dip in May as cereal, sugar and vegoils drop
PARIS, June 6 (Reuters) - Global food commodity prices declined in May, driven by marked drops in cereal, sugar, and vegetable oil prices, the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization said on Friday. The FAO Food Price Index, opens new tab, which tracks monthly changes in a basket of internationally traded food commodities, averaged 127.7 points in May, reflecting a 0.8% decrease from the April figure. The May reading was up 6% from a year earlier but over 20% below a March 2022 peak following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine that started a devastating war between two of the world's leading grains producers. The FAO cereal price index fell 1.8% month-on-month, led by a sharp drop in global maize prices. Strong harvests and ample supplies in Argentina and Brazil, along with expectations of a record crop in the United States, weighed on prices. Wheat prices edged lower due to improved crop conditions in the northern hemisphere. By contrast, rice prices rose 1.4%, supported by firm demand for fragrant varieties and currency movements. Vegetable oil prices declined 3.7% from April, with declines across all major oils. Palm oil prices fell due to seasonal output increases in Southeast Asia. Soy oil prices dropped on higher South American supplies and weak demand for biofuel. Rapeseed oil eased on improved European Union supply prospects, while sunflower oil declined amid weak global demand. The FAO sugar price index decreased by 2.6%, reflecting concerns over the global economic outlook, weaker demand from food and beverage industries, and expectations of a production recovery next season. Meat prices rose 1.3% from April. Beef, pork and sheep meat prices increased, with beef reaching a record high. Poultry prices declined, pressured by surplus supplies in Brazil following import restrictions linked to a bird flu outbreak. The FAO dairy price index rose 0.8%, supported by strong demand from Asia. Butter prices remained at historic highs, while cheese and whole milk powder prices also increased. In a separate report, the FAO forecast record global cereal production of 2.911 billion metric tons in 2025, up from 2.848 billion in its previous estimate and 2.1% above 2024. With production expected to surpass consumption, global cereal stocks are anticipated to grow by 1.0%, partially recovering from last year's contraction.
