fall in the cost of the basic food basket
A cesta básica tem dois aspetos, ou seja o nutricional é o económico. Na sua aceção económica a cesta básica é um instrumento de medida da inflação.
O contexto aqui é o económico.
"A cesta básica é utilizada na área da economia com um instrumento de medida da inflação, sendo um indicador importante de como o aumento do preço dos produtos afeta o dia-a-dia e a alimentação da população no geral. Ela pode estar associada a alguns índices como o IPC (índice de preço do consumidor)."

decline of the basic food basket
cesta básica: basic food basket
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/portuguese-to-english/law-general...
The basic food basket (BFB), formed by the more economical products available, is used by less-affluent countries to establish the minimum daily food consumption to satisfy nutritional requirements in less-privileged individuals. https://www.nature.com/articles/ejcn2016139
decadence: decline

Further Examples:
"Although the Government decreed in October a 375 percent increase in the minimum wage, its purchasing power in terms of the basic food basket has declined..." (emphasis added). https://www.ohchr.org/sp/newsevents/pages/displaynews.aspx?n...
"According to analysts of the MEF, whose figures are official, however this amount is less than the same B/0.95 March last year. The ACODECO, meanwhile, has submitted a report stating that the basic food basket has declined further in April, causing the anger of the majority of the population, which has the feeling that your money every time buy less" (emphasis added). http://felipeargotes.blogspot.com/2010/05/

I also found "food parcels" as a related concept. It's not exactly the same as "cestas básicas" in the sense that these are provided for by the government.
food parcel: (British English) parcels of food prepared and sent, esp by charitable organizations, to people in need. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/food...

: Aqui é uma situação positiva, o custo do cabaz de compras diminuiu, e num dos seus exemplos, (1.º) o que diminuiu foi o poder de compra e, no segundo, o que diminuiu foi o conteúdo do cabaz de compras, o que contraria a conjuntura favorável descrita.

care package: a package of useful or pleasurable items that is sent or given as a gift to another (such as a college student) - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/care package
basic food basket: comprised mostly of a staple and other food items, they are survival items so to speak. As explained earlier, "they establish the minimum daily food consumption to satisfy nutritional requirements in less-privileged individuals". https://www.nature.com/articles/ejcn2016139
