The figure below is prepared by the National Farmers Union using 2010 data from USDA & NAAS.
On average NFU found that the farmer received 20% of the price paid by the consumer and are of course promoting the needs of farmers and not really considering the other parts of the chain.
What’s interesting is the difference in the share between highly processed and unprocessed products – eg carots, milk and beer where the farmers receive 41%, 28% and 1.6% respectively.
Very interesting reading, more information on the full chain especially retail and transport would be interesting! Especially if it could be compared to financial performance.
