Prices rise as vegetables push inflation forecast higher
A UPI report notes higher vegetable prices added about 1 percent to early 1977 food inflation forecasts while experts see meat gains remaining modest. Economists flag studies on whether fall 1977 food price rise projections to 3 to 4 percent should be nudged up due to potential reductions in Western summer harvests. Western states supply a majority of processing and fresh vegetables, with California's Central Valley under water restrictions affecting output into late 1977 and early 1978.
