Concern about the cost of feeding a family
is ever present in the minds of many con-
sumers. Some people think that when food
prices go up, that the producer must be get-
ting an increase. But, according to the Food
Price Analysis Division of Agriculture
Canada, the price of the basic food product
represents only about 40 per cent of the cost
of food. Between the farm and your table a
variety of other factors contribute to food
prices.
On the remaining 60 per cent of food costs,
labor represents the largest component,
contributing 55 per cent of the price. This
figure includes all workers from food pro-
cessing to transportation workers and retail
store personnel. Transporation of food from
one point to another contributes five per
cent.
Foods are packaged in a wide variety of
containers to protect food during transpor-
tation, storage and merchandising. The
costs of packaging vary widely.
The world ,price of oil dictates energy
prices within the agri-food systems. If the
world price increases or falls, food prices
follow the trend. Energy used in production,

distribution and retailing food adds about
five per cent to final food prices.
Since there are interest costs on borrowed
money in the agri-food system, the current
interest rate influences food prices. When
interest costs change, food prices move in
the same direction.
Canada imports and exports food. During
the winter months, the costs of fresh pro-
duce imported from the U.S. can change
dramatically as the Canada — U.S. Ex-
change Rate fluctuates.
Although this is not an exhaustive discus-
sion of the variety of influences on food
prices, it does give you some appreciation
for the complexity of the issue.
Agriculture Canada predicted food prices
would increase overall three to five percent
in 1987, although some foods will go up more
than others. Because of current economic
conditions most of the increase for 1987 is
likely to be caused by increases in basic
commodity prices with the marketing costs
as described above contributing a smaller
increase.
Where does Agriculture Canada predict
that food budgets will increase most? In the
restaurant sector. Although prices won't go
up, they predict that `Canadians will spend
more money eating out than they did in 1986.
