Abstract

Excerpts from the Preface: This publication provides a central reference on price spreads and related data on marketing farm food products. It should be a useful research tool and a source of information for those who frequently need to explain changes in farm-to-consumer price spreads. This publication brings together statistics and analyses from other publications and unpublished manuscripts. A selected annotated bibliography refers the reader to other references. This publication contains statistics for a "market basket" of farm food products, commodity groups, and 47 individual food products on an annual basis for the full period for which statistics are available. Monthly and quarterly data are given for the total market basket. Analyses of factors affecting trends in farm-retail spreads are included. Changes in services and factor costs in marketing farm food products are considered. Estimates of total charges for marketing farm food products and for major commodity groups are given in the marketing-bill series. Functional and cost components of the marketing bill are given in some instances. The methodology and sources of data for estimating the market-basket statistics and other series are discussed.
