      abstract = {Food prices, as measured by the Consumer Price Index,  increased 4.1 percent in 1988, the same increase as in  1987.  But prices rose at a much higher rate in the second  half of 1988 than in the first half due to the severe  drought and other market factors.  The prices farmers  received for commodities, as measured by the farm value of  USDA's market basket of foods, rose 3.6 percent.  Farm  value of foods had dropped in 2 of the previous 3 years.   The farm value share of the food dollar spent in grocery  stores was 30 percent, unchanged from 1987.  The  farm-to-retail price spread of USDA's market basket of  foods rose 4.7 percent, partly reflecting higher prices of  inputs used in handling, processing, and retailing foods.},
