Abstract

The USDA, Economic Research Service’s Food Dollar Series measures annual spending by U.S. consumers on domestically produced food with three series that help answer the question “where does the money spent on food go?” Using different models of the same food supply chain, the three series break down the distribution of a representative $1 of annual consumer food expenditures (a food dollar) on purchases for eating at home and away from home. First, the marketing bill series shows how much farm establishments receive for the sale of farm commodities as a proportion of total food sales. Second, the industry group series shows how the costs of producing and marketing food are distributed across 12 links in the supply chain. Lastly, the primary factor series shows how the value added in food production is split among people, capital assets, and other factors in food production.
