Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The reason is that "indication of" is the correct phrase to use when referring to something that suggests or signals something else. Indication for is not the appropriate phrase in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Last week's sharp hike in the wholesale price of beef is a strong indication of higher meat costs to come.
