Overview

The food dollar series measures annual expenditures by U.S. consumers on domestically produced food.

This data series is composed of three primary series--the marketing bill series, the industry group series, and the primary factor series--that shed light on different aspects of the food supply chain. The three series show three different ways to split up the same food dollar.

All statistics are reported as a percentage of an average annual food dollar expenditure (see Glossary). Data are available from 1993 to 2010 and will be updated annually. See Why Replace the Marketing Bill Series?
