Food Prices Rise as Sales and Production Grow
Food prices edged higher this week while consumer purchases rose and wholesalers reported modest sales gains. Production increased for butter flour and cheese as fresh fruits and vegetables stayed plentiful and reasonably priced. Pork fish and poultry demand stayed strong with substitutes for meat and butter in good demand. An American Institute of Food Distribution survey shows chains and big retailers 12 percent higher in dollar volume year over year, smaller grocers 5 percent higher, and wholesale grocers 8 percent higher. The institute says business prospects in coming months look more optimistic than recently. The European aid program will ship 1.8 billion dollars of American food to Europe in its first year, with 62.35 million already authorized for farm-product purchases.
