How to get the lowest FLAT RATE shipping cost in WooCommerce

Question

What I want is simple: I want to display the lowest flat rate shipping cost on a product page in WooCommerce so I can display: "We already deliver orders from € ...".

It doesn't matter what shipping zone of customer country is active... I just need the overall (static) lowest flat rate cost available.

So far I have this:

foreach ((array) $delivery_zones as $key => $delivery_zone ) {

    $shipping_costs = [];

    foreach ($delivery_zone['shipping_methods'] as $value) {
        $shipping_costs[] = $value->cost;
        break;
    }

    echo (min($shipping_costs));
}

But this still outputs ALL the flat rate costs f.i.: 1,99 3,99 5,99

How can I only display the lowest (in this case 1,99) rate?

Many tnx!

Can you tell us which hook do you use to edit the product page or provide us the screenshot which shows the current rates on the product page? — MrEbabi
I don't use hooks in my case. I just created a small plugin to display various order info (like costs, delivery day, etc) to display on a product page. That answers your question? I hope you have the awnjser :) — YorlinqNL

I think it is a simple mistake, please try this:

function get_lowest_shipping_flat_rate_1()
{
    $delivery_zones = WC_Shipping_Zones::get_zones(); 

    //define the array outside of the loop
    $shipping_costs = [];
    $min_zone = "";

    //get all costs in a loop and store them in the array
    foreach ((array) $delivery_zones as $key => $the_zone ) {

    foreach ($the_zone['shipping_methods'] as $value) {
        $shipping_costs[] = $value->cost;
        if(min($shipping_costs) == $value->cost) $min_zone = $the_zone['zone_name'];
        }
    }

    $content = $min_zone . " - " . get_woocommerce_currency_symbol() . " " . min($shipping_costs);

    return $content;
}
