Food Costs Up 3
Last Year, OSC
Economist Notes
Consumers paid 3 percent more
to fill their market baskets with
farm-produced foods last year.
The farmer's share of the food
dollar, however, remained the
same, reports Mrs Elvera Horrell,
Oregon State college extension
economist. For the first time in
six years, the farm share kept
pace with the rise at the retail
level.
These reasons for higher price
es are given by the college econ
omist: In general, she says, farmers
got higher prices for the pro
ducts that went into the bas
ket, marketing charges were
higher, and farm food products
carried higher price tags on the
grocers' shelves.
Costs to assemble, process and
distribute farm foods are up, she
declares. Freight and railroad
rates, hourly earnings of food
marketing employees, and prices
of other goods and services that
marketing firms buy are higher.
But consumers enjoy extra serv
ices and conveniences and are
willing to pay for them, Mrs
Horrell adds.
All food groups, except poultry
and eggs, carried higher market
ing charges. Meat products charg
es increased the most, with fats
and oils and bakery and cereal
products not far behind.
Marketing costs are quite inde
pendent of the supply and de
mand that pushes and pulls on
farm prices, according to Mrs
Horrell. Marketing costs, which
are reflected in retail prices, oft
en remain quite rigid, even when
the farmer gets less for farm
food, she explains. '
The "market basket" figures
are based on the average quant
ities of farm-produced food pro
ducts purchased by moderate in
come families.
