Abstract: This paper documents actual energy inputs for selected agricultural products for all activities from production to home consumption. It then estimates the potential food cost impacts of several alternative energy pricing schemes. The findings of this analysis indicate that modest energy price changes are unlikely to have significant impacts on food costs, contrary to some beliefs.
