About this magazine
Grocery food prices are generally thought to be determined by three factors: prices farmers
receive for their commodities, marketing costs incurred in changing these commodities
into foods and delivering them to consumers, and consumer demand for food. Farm prices
and marketing charges determine how much it costs to produce and market food, and consumer
demand determines what consumers are willing to pay.
