Food price changes offset by rising Canadian incomes says Dr Wood
Dr A Wood an agricultural economist notes that food costs have fallen as a share of income for Canadians over the last year and a half. Absolute food prices rose about 9 percent in 24 months and 7 percent from 1955 to 1964, while incomes grew enough to improve purchasing power. He warns fixed incomes and subsistence earners face hardship as prices rise, widening the gap between average earners and the poor.
