Bean price surge hurts U.S. bean donations and supplies
The U S Department of Agriculture says white beans are too expensive to donate to door programs and schools. Prices are likely to rise further before the new harvests. Last year farm output fell to about 16.8 million 100 lb bags from 186.1 million in 1972 as consumers bought more beans amid rising food costs. Export sales also rose to foreign markets.
