Thank you for the link. This is one of the most detailed comparisons of food costs from the farm share of the grocery item to the retail share. I realize some people are still not smart enough to understand, or even have the ability to read.
Taking into account inflation, world demand etc, the farm percentage of grocery costs is only an amazing 19% of the total cost of retail food. 81% of retail food costs are attributed to costs other than the farm share.
Oil, packaging, transportation, labor, interest rates, taxes, transportation, marketing are all considered.
Ethanol has a very small impact compared to all the other factors.
Such as yourself?
