Price Spreads from Farm to Consumer

Published by Economic Research Service, Department of Agriculture | Department of Agriculture | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 05:02 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 20, 2019
USDA Economic Research Service (ERS) compares prices paid by consumers for food with prices received by farmers for corresponding commodities. This data set reports these comparisons for a variety of foods sold through retail food stores such as supermarkets and super centers. Comparisons are made for individual foods and groupings of individual foods-market baskets-that represent what a typical U.S. household buys at retail in a year. The retail costs of these baskets are compared with the money received by farmers for a corresponding basket of agricultural commodities.
