Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Widely held interest in spreads between the price of farm products and the price of consumer goods produced from farm products led Congress to designate certain marketing research funds for studies of marketing margins. This study of price spreads for margarine is one of several similar studies of important food products undertaken by the Economic Research Service in this area of research. The objective of this study is to provide information on the margins covering payments for services provided by marketing agencies in transforming soybean and cottonseed oils into margarine and distributing margarine to consumers. Margarine is retailed over a wide range of selling prices reflecting different brands, location of consuming areas, and various other factors. Therefore, average marketing margins summarize payments to manufacturing and marketing agencies functioning under diverse market situations. This analysis examines margins associated with brands, retail outlets, and regions that are not usually covered in other margin reports published by the Department of Agriculture.
