Supermodularity conjecture for a convex body and compact summands

Let n2n\geq 2. For a convex body AA and compact sets B,CRnB,C\subset\mathbb{R}^n, consider their Minkowski sums. Supermodularity conjecture.

A+B+C+AA+B+A+C.|A+B+C|+|A|\geq |A+B|+|A+C|.

This extends the known one-dimensional inequality involving conv(A)|\operatorname{conv}(A)| and asks whether convexity of AA restores supermodularity in higher dimensions; the conjecture is open for n2n\geq2.
