Retail Food Prices
Rising pnces lor many important agncultur.il
commodities, induced by unfavorable weather
conditions over much of the United Stales, appear
likely to cause further advances in average retail food
pnces dunng the last hall of 1974. Instead of
remaining steady dunng the third quarter and
declining slightly in the fall, as estimated earlier this
vear, they are now expected to rise about 3% during
the third quarter and little more in the fourth quarter.
For all of 1974, grocery store food pnces are now
expected to average about 15% above 1973. This
compares with last year’s advance of a little over 16%
for this category. With pnces for restaurant meals
and snacks nsmg nearly as much as groceries, the
all-food retail pnce average for 1974 may also be up
nearly 1.i% from 1973 This is practically the same
nse as last year.
Much of the increase in food pnces for the third
quarter will be associated with crop-related products
Retail prices for vegetable oil end-products, cereal
and bakery items, beverages and sugar products are
expected to continue higher through the remainder of
1974 Retail prices for canned and frozen fruits and
vegetables are also likely to rise further. Fresh fruit
and vegetable pnces are likely to decline seasonally
in the fall Average retail prices for animal-related
products are expected to increase moderately before
stabilizing this fall Advances for red meat, eggs, and
fishery products in the third quarter may be only
partially offset by a modest decline for dairy
products. Red meat pnces may decline seasonally
later this fall and generally offset increases for most
other animal-related products.
These price estimates are based on supply and
demand prospects assessed as of mid-August,
including general inflationary pressures Further
reductions in farm output on the order of 3% from
currently expected levels and stronger demand could
result in a 6'Ki-7% increase in retail food pnces in the
second half. For all of 1974 retail food pnces would
average about 17% above a year earlier. Conversely, if
there were larger farm output of about the same
magnitude, and declining domestic and world
demand conditions, retail food prices could decrease a
little late in 1974. Under these conditions the all-food
average for 1974 would still be about 13% above last
year.
Substantial recovery from 1973’s reduced red meat
consumption levels together with increases for
poultry, fruit, potatoes, cereals and sweeteners is
expected to bring per capita food consumption to a
record high level this year, over V/t% above 1973. With
more meat, fish consumption will likely decline
slightly from the high level attained in 1973 and the
downtrend for eggs is expected to continue. While per
capita consumption of animal-related food products
is expected to increase 2'/>% over last year, it will still
average 2% under the record highs of 1971 and 1972
due to lower levels for meat, eggs, and animal fats.
Personal consumption expenditures for food in the
second quarter rose slightly more than $3 billion, over
2% above the first quarter, to nearly $l6l billion
(seasonally adjusted, annual rate). Most of this

i r Farming. Saturda
increase was due to an increase in expenditures for
food eaten at home, although those for restaurant
meals and snacks were up also. Total spending for
food was nearly 15% above the second quarter of 1973,
reflecting higher prices.
Participation in the Food Stamp Program rose to
13.7 million people in June, 12% more than a year
earlier. The value of bonus stamps in the first half
was nearly 50% above a year earlier, due largely to
increases in the bonus stamp allotment which is
adjusted to reflect increases in the cost of the
economy food plan.
This year’s production of U.S. farm food
commodities is expected to be down from 1973, with a
3% increase for livestock items more than offset by a
nearly 6% drop for crops. The reduction for crops
largely reflects the smaller feed grain and oilseeds
harvests in prospect this fall. Civilian food use of
farm food commodities may increase nearly 3% from
last year’s reduced level, matching the record high of
1972. Exports of farm food goods may be down more
than a tenth from the 1973 record.
