Grocery Prices to Peak Soon Says Agriculture Dept
The Agriculture Department warned that food prices may rise further this summer and perhaps into fall due to demand and inflation pressures. It forecast 1969 food prices averaging about 4 percent above 1968, with supplies of beef broilers eggs and most fruits increasing. Consumers cut purchases and shifted to cheaper foods, while a rebound in total food spending could occur in late 1969.
