price increase vs. price rise
American food companies are preparing for another round of price increases. Soaring production costs have forced them to pass on price increases to the consumer.
I'd like to learn what the difference between ' price increase' and 'price rise'. Can I replace "price rises" with " price increases'? Could someone else illustrate? Thank you!
