Food Costs… From Farm to Retail in 1988

No 309490, Agricultural Information Bulletins from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: How much are food costs changing? Why? How much of the consumer food dollar goes to the farmer and how much to food processors and marketers? Because of the great interest in these questions, Congress has directed the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to regularly study them and to report its findings. This bulletin brings you up to date on the answers, focusing on developments during 1988.
