Where does your food dollar go?

Click a glowing tag to see how much of each dollar reaches the farm — and how that shapes the way prices move.

The pattern

Groceries with a larger farm share transmit a change in farm-level costs to the shelf more directly. Items with a larger marketing share dilute that change — the effect is more likely to be delayed, muted, or filtered through processing, packaging, transportation, wholesale, retail, and other post-farm costs.

Where does your food dollar go?

Every grocery price splits between the farm and everything after it. That split is why some prices jump the moment costs change — and others barely move at all.

How to read each bar
Farm share
Marketing share
Farm share = cents that reach the farm. Marketing share = processing, packaging, transportation, wholesale, retail, and other post-farm costs. (Sample split shown.)

Walk the aisles, open a few items, then watch the pattern build.
