Abstract

Excerpt from the report: This booklet summarizes the major trends in farm and retail prices of farm foods, marketing costs, and the relation between food expenditures and consumer incomes. It shows, for example, that the rise in food prices in recent years has been caused both by higher marketing costs and farm prices. The increase in food costs since 1964 has been more rapid than it was during the early 1960's. Even so, retail food costs have increased less than the Consumer Price Index of all goods and services. Incomes also have risen more than food prices so that less work is required to buy food now than in 1957-59.
