Abstract: Sales in the food marketing system rose 3.6 percent because of U.S. economic growth in 1993. Retail food price increases were moderate (2.2 percent). Competition for scarce shelf space, heavy couponing, and record new products were indicators of aggressive competition. The surplus of foreign trade in processed foods rose sharply. The number of merger and leveraged buyout transactions rose, but their value dropped.
