The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all foods at retail in 1975 averaged 8% percent above 1974. This compares with annual increases of 14% percent the previous two years. The 1975 rise reflected an increase of more than eight percent for food-at-bome prices, with food-away-from-home prices rising more than nine percent over a year earlier.

Auxiliary Sale by WAYNE HESS of marketing spreads accounted for about three-fourths of the rise in retail food prices in 1975. The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) for all foods averaged 6V4 percent above 1974, reflecting prices that were sharply above year-earller levels at the beginning of the year. However, by December 1975 food prices at wholesale averaged about two percent below a year earlier. Prices for beverages and red meats, especially pork and poultry, registered large increases, but prices for fish, dairy products, and processed fruits and vegetables were also higher. Fresh and dried fruits and vegetables, eggs, vegetable oils, and sugar prices were lower. Meat and poultry consumption rebounded during the fourth quarter from low spring and summer levels, reducing the overall decline in food consumption last year. However, the index of per capita food consumption fell about one percent in 1975 from a year earlier to its lowest level since 1968. Per capita consumption of crop-related foods in 1975 remained essentially unchanged from 1974 and about two percent below the record high of 1973. Substantial increases for fresh and processed fruits and fresh potatoes and lesser gains for processed vegetables and cereal products just about offset a sharp drop in sugar consumption and smaller declines for vegetable oils, fresh vegetables, and coffee. Consumption of animal-related foods fell about two percent last year but remained slightly above the low 1973 level. Unfavorable returns to livestock producers in 1974 and 1975 led to sharp cutbacks in the output of pork, grain-fed beef, KREISLE AND LEHMAN’S DAIRY AND MACHINERY SALE Location: Smoketown Quality Dairy Cattle Sales Stable. 5 miles east of Lancaster along Route 340.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Feb. 28.1976 and poultry products through much of 1975. However, a big gain in slaughter of cattle and calves with little or no grain feeding prevented an even larger decline in red meat con sumption. For all of 1975, expenditures for food averaged nearly 11 percent higher than in 1974, with moat of the increase in the first half. Expenditures for food at home were up 10 percent for 1975, while expenditures for restaurant meals and snacks increased nearly 14 percent. Food expenditures increased at a slower rate in 1975 than during the preceding two years because of more moderate price increases. During 1975 the total value of food stamps issued rose to $8.3 billion, for an increase of more than 40 percent over 1974. Bonus stamps (stamps received free) rose 45 percent to $5 billion. Food stamp purchases accounted for nearly six percent of personal constu&pttan expenditures on food for use at home. In 1975, for thefirst pme in the program’s history, households not on public assistance rolls accounted for over half of food stamp recipients. Net production of U.S. farm food commodities totaled almost 12 percent above 1974, reflecting a 16-percent gain in output of food crops as well as the small feed use of crops. However, the large crop and perhaps some holdback in marketings resulted in a big buildup in inventories of food crops. Total domestic me, excluding feed and seed, declined slightly from 1974 to 1975. Most of this decrease occurred in food use, the major utilization component of farm food commodities. However, the volume of exports, the second significant utilization component, grew by more than nine percent. Larger exports more than offset the decline in domestic consumption, so that total disappearance in 1975 was up slightly from 1974.
