Analysis Of Food Dollar
When you buy food and pay the bill you may wonder how your food dollar pays for the cost of getting that food from the farm to you. The share to the farmer varies from 10 percent for canned tomatoes to 70 percent for eggs due to perishability bulkiness and services. Most margin increase reflects higher production processing and transport costs of selling.
