Non Farm Food Bill Rises Sharply In 1977 Expenditures
U S government figures show total non farm food spending rising to about 23 billion dollars in 1977, up 5.8 billion from 1976 as coffee and seafood prices surge and more people are fed. The farm food share climbs about 4.5 percent to roughly 180 billion, with total U S food spending near 199.5 billion. The middleman slice grows to 116 billion, aided by labor costs and packaging while farm value sits at 56.3 billion.

A USDA analyst notes a grain reserve buildup and declining export share to India, with 10 months of the 1976-77 year showing wheat at 17.3 percent of U.S. farm sales to India.
