I’ll save you my commentary. The headline speaks for itself. 🥗Wholesale Vegetable Prices Are Skyrocketing. What Does That Mean for Shoppers? The nearly 40% increase is the biggest one-month move for a summer month in almost a century.

It sure as hell won't make America healthy again.

That's OK. We'll just eat more junk food, salt, high fructose corn syrup and fat. Only problem is our health care and science has been plundered.

I'm going to guess that skyrocketing wholesale prices will end up as skyrocketing retail prices. Just a hunch...

Making America Healthy Again isn't going to happen if vegetables are too expensive for most American families. 40% increase is staggering. You bet the increase will be passed down to consumers.

It means violently ripping people who work harvesting vegetables off the streets and putting them in detention centers without due process is a really bad policy. In addition to human rights abuses.

"Lastly, as Romans explained on air, tariffs on imported vegetables and food can also make domestic prices rise in turn." This should be in the headline instead of buried as "lastly".

Three guesses, the first two don't count. What a stupid headline, @todayshow.com. Stop playing rump's game. Try this: Consumers to suffer even more after wholesale produce prices increase 40% in one month.

Average profit margin for wholesalers is 20%. So, of course they will eat the 40% increase w/o passing on the increase *NOT*

Huh. Who could have predicted this would happen, with the tariffs and deporting the farm workers? Wish we'd known better...🙄 Those who can should be planning to grow/preserve as much food as possible in the coming years. If you don't have a garden, build it now so it's ready for spring planting.

Is it purely from inflation or is also because demand is down due to an increase in home vegetable gardening?

Very scary, but not unexpected, especially for those of us who eat mainly/all vegetables. We're vegetarian/pescetarian on senior budgets, but I lean heavier to vegetables. The issue of all prices was not a surprise, but it's still a problem and will get worse.

It’s the Feds fault. If he’d lowered the interest rates like the admin has asked, everyone could have secured a loan to pay that higher price and not have noticed a problem on their bank account bottom line. 🤪🤪🤪
