Abstract

Sales in the U.S. food marketing system reached an estimated half a trillion dollars in 1985, a 3.5-percent real increase above 1984, compared with the 2.3-percent real increase in gross national product. The food marketing system comprised over 1 million firms in 1985 in food manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing, and service. Only food service shows a long-term increase in total number of firms. Because the food marketing system benefits from a low-inflation economy which allows costs to be held down, 1985 was a stable year as farm prices fell and wages and marketing costs increased moderately. This report analyzes these and other developments, structural changes, and the outlook for the U.S. food marketing system.
