报告：7月4日，今年的野餐费用增加了17％

美国消费者将为他们最喜欢的独立日烹饪食品支付69.68美元American Farm Bureau FederationMarketBasket调查。

夏季野餐10人的平均成本为69.68美元，每人分解为7美元。

烹饪的整体成本上涨了17％或去年约10美元, a result of ongoing supply chain disruptions, inflation and the war in Ukraine.

AFBF首席经济学家罗杰·克里安（Roger Cryan）表示，农民也感觉到价格点疼痛，就像他们种植食物的人一样。

“尽管食品价格更高，但供应链中断和通货膨胀使农场供应更加昂贵；像消费者一样，农民不是价格制定者，” Cryan说。

“Bottom line, in many cases the higher prices farmers are being paid aren’t covering the increase in their farm expenses. The cost of fuel is up and fertilizer prices have tripled.”

Cryan还指出了乌克兰战争的级联影响，因为该国对全球粮食安全的贡献被切断了，俄罗斯和白俄罗斯肥料的出口受到限制，其他一些国家则退出出口以保护其家庭用品。

碎牛肉的年度价格最大

The marketbasket survey shows the largest year-to-year price increase was for ground beef.

调查结果表明，零售价为2磅的碎牛肉，为11.12美元，比去年增长了36％。同时，农业部的生产商价格指数indicates that compared to a year ago, farm-level cattle prices are up 17.5%, but wholesale beef prices are down 14%. This serves to highlight the differences between farm-level, wholesale and retail beef prices and how the events of the last few years have had significant impacts on the beef production and cattle pricing cycles, making them all hard to predict.

Several other foods in the survey, including chicken breasts, pork chops, homemade potato salad, fresh-squeezed lemonade, pork & beans, hamburger buns and cookies, also increased in price.

消费者的一个亮点是草莓的平均零售价，与一年前相比，草莓的平均零售价下降了86美分。

Sliced cheese and potato chips also dropped in price, 48 cents and 22 cents, respectively. Better weather conditions in some fruit-growing regions and greater retailer pricing flexibility for processed products are the likely drivers behind the modest price declines for these items.

乌克兰的战争对美国独立日庆祝活动有连锁反应

The year-to-year direction of the marketbasket survey tracks with the federal government’s消费者价格指数report for food at home and general inflation across the economy. Both the index and the marketbasket show increases of more than 10% compared to year-ago levels.

“According to the Agriculture Department’s revised Food Dollar Series, farmers currently receive approximately 8% of every food marketing dollar,” Cryan said. “The farmers’ share of the retail food dollar is as low as 2% to 4% for highly processed foods such as bread and cereal, and can be 35% or more for some fresh products.”

Commenting on big picture concerns related to food security, AFBF President Zippy Duvall said the increased cost of food and supplies is a very real concern in our country and across the globe.

"U.S. food assistance programs and food banks help those who struggle to make ends meet here at home, but the story is much different around the globe as food insecurity skyrockets," said Duvall. "The big impact of a single event in Ukraine shows how dependent the world is on stable, productive agriculture."

7月4日的烹饪调查是农场局Marketbasket系列的一部分，其中还包括对美国人在家准备餐食的普通食品主食的年度感恩节晚餐费用调查。

Data for this year’s survey was collected by 176 volunteer shoppers across the country and in Puerto Rico, including Farm Bureau members and others.
