FARMERS AND FOOD PRICES REPORT 2024

• Farmers are getting less while consumers are paying more
   
• Fluctuations in commodity prices don't seem to predict or
  drive pricing at the grocery store
   
• Food inflation is a complex issue and demands more transparency
  across the supply chain to establish who is profiting at the expense 
  of producers and consumers

THE DATA

This year's report shows retail prices for seven common grocery products rose in Saskatchewan over the last year, despite falling commodity prices and farmers' declining share of those same retail dollars. A few of those examples include pork, beer and margarine.
