Food prices rose 4.3 per cent
By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent During 1972 food prices rose 4.3 per cent, while non food prices rose only three per cent. But on the other hand since 1970 wholesale prices of non farm products have increased approximately six times as much as the wholesale price of farm products. Consumer prices for food went up 2.3 per cent in January 1973 and another 2.4 per cent in February, the fastest rate of gain since the Korean War. Beef, pork, fish and fresh produce accounted for 80 per cent of the 1972 food price rise. What has caused this large increase in consumer food prices? Os course there are many reasons but the major ones are: increased demand, large grain shipments overseas, poor harvest season and short supplies of poultry. Demand is the one factor that the consumer can control. This year the demand for beef has reached a record high. In the last twenty years our per capita consumption of red meat has tripled. Our incomes have risen so more people can afford more meat. From 1965 to 1972 per capita disposable income increased 62 per cent while food prices increased only 33 per cent. Looking toward the future, demand is expected to continue to accelerate. The prices of pork is expected to fall in the last half of this year. We can only expect beef prices to level off since there will not be an increased supply of beef available. For the homemaker who needs
