2020 Import Price : The average import price for shrimp into the U.S. in 2020 was $12.27 per kilogram, the highest in a five-year span from 2016-2020. This spike likely reflects supply chain disruptions and heightened demand during the early COVID-19 pandemic. Export Price : U.S. shrimp exports averaged $16.26 per kilogram, with total export value at $135 million for 8,952 tons, down from 10,329 tons in 2019 due to reduced global trade activity. Context : Gulf of Mexico landings were 30% below the 2002-2018 average at 69.2 million pounds (heads-off), with ex-vessel prices for larger shrimp (U15 count) at $9.50 per pound and smaller sizes (41-50 count) under $2.00 per pound, reflecting a split market driven by import competition. 2021 Import Price : Prices dropped to $9.94 per kilogram, a significant decline from 2020, likely due to stabilizing supply chains and increased global production post-pandemic disruptions. Export Price : Exports surged to a value of $186 million, a 69% increas...

2020 Export Price : The export price per kilogram of cod from the U.S. in 2020 was approximately $4.51. This reflects a steady increase from $3.41 in 2017, indicating a rising trend in export values over the preceding years. Context : U.S. cod exports in 2020 amounted to 95 tons, down from 105 tons in 2019, suggesting a slight decline in volume amid global supply shifts. Import prices for cod into the U.S. dropped slightly to $4.14 per kilogram from $4.51 in 2019, possibly reflecting market adjustments during the early pandemic period. 2021-2024 Import Price Trends : The import price per kilogram of cod into the U.S. saw fluctuations. In 2021, it decreased to $3.65, then rose sharply to $5.44 in 2022, driven by increased demand and supply constraints. Predictions from earlier data suggest a continued upward trend, with estimates of $5.90 in 2023 and $6.50 in 2024, though exact figures for these years aren’t fully confirmed in my dataset. Pacific Cod : By late 2024, Pacific cod prices w...

Soda Water Prices (2020–2025) Prices are estimated per 12 oz can in a 12-pack, a common retail format, with ranges reflecting supermarket (e.g., Walmart, Kroger) vs. premium brands (e.g., LaCroix, Perrier).  2020:  Average price: ~$0.33–$0.50 per 12 oz can (12-pack: $4.00–$6.00).  Supermarket brands (e.g., store-brand seltzer) were around $3.50–$4.50/12-pack ($0.29–$0.38/can), while premium sparkling waters like LaCroix ranged $4.50–$6.00 ($0.38–$0.50/can). The pandemic spurred demand for shelf-stable beverages, but soda water prices remained stable due to low production costs and competition. Inflation was minimal (CPI ~1.2%), and Nielsen data reported sparkling water sales at $4.3 billion, indicating strong volume growth without sharp price hikes. 2021:  Average price: ~$0.35–$0.53 per 12 oz can (12-pack: $4.20–$6.35).  Supermarket 12-packs rose to $4.00–$4.75 ($0.33–$0.40/can), and premium brands hit $5.00–$6.35 ($0.42–$0.53/can). Inflation climbed (CPI ~4.7%...

Ciabatta Prices (2020–2025) Ciabatta prices vary widely depending on the seller (supermarkets, artisanal bakeries, or chains like Panera Bread), loaf size (typically 250–400 grams, or 0.55–0.88 lbs), and region. I’ll provide an average range per loaf, blending mass-market and artisanal pricing, adjusted for inflation and market factors. 2020:  Average price: ~$2.50–$4.00 per loaf.  Supermarket ciabatta (e.g., Walmart, Kroger) likely ranged from $2.00–$3.00, while artisanal bakeries charged $3.50–$5.00. The BLS reported white bread at $1.37/pound, and specialty breads like ciabatta commanded a premium. The USDA notes minimal food price growth in 2020 (~1–2%) due to the pandemic, with demand shifting toward home baking but stable bakery prices. 2021:  Average price: ~$2.60–$4.20 per loaf.  Inflation rose (CPI ~4.7%, food-at-home ~3.5%), driven by supply chain disruptions and higher flour costs. Supermarket ciabatta likely hit $2.10–$3.15, with artisanal loaves at $3.65...

Baguette Prices (2020–2025) Baguette prices in the US vary by region, bakery type (e.g., artisanal vs. supermarket), and quality. A typical baguette is a French-style loaf, often weighing around 250–350 grams (0.55–0.77 lbs), with prices quoted per loaf. I’ll estimate averages based on available data and adjust for inflation and market factors. 2020:  Average price: ~$2.00–$3.00 per baguette.  Pre-pandemic reports suggest baguettes at supermarkets (e.g., Walmart, Kroger) were around $1.50–$2.50, while artisanal bakeries charged $2.50–$4.00. The USDA notes the all-food CPI rose minimally in 2020 (~1–2%), and bread prices remained stable despite pandemic demand shifts. A 2019 baseline for white pan bread was $1.37/pound (BLS), and baguettes, being specialty items, were pricier per unit. 2021:  Average price: ~$2.10–$3.15 per baguette.  Inflation ticked up (CPI ~4.7% overall), and food-at-home prices rose ~3.5%. Supply chain issues increased flour and energy costs, nudg...

Retail prices for canned tuna in the US are typically reported per can (e.g., 5 oz, 142g) or per pound (453g).  2020:  Average price: ~$0.77/pound (based on 2019 Statista data, with minimal change assumed for 2020).  A 5 oz can of skipjack or albacore (e.g., Starkist, Bumble Bee) retailed around $1.00–$1.25, translating to $3.20–$4.00/pound.  The COVID-19 pandemic boosted demand for shelf-stable foods, but prices remained relatively stable due to existing supply chains and competition among brands. 2021:  Average price: ~$0.80–$0.85/pound.  A 5 oz can ranged from $1.05–$1.30, or $3.36–$4.16/pound.  Rising production costs (fuel, labor) and supply chain disruptions from 2020 began pushing prices up slightly, though canned tuna remained an affordable protein option. 2022:  Average price: ~$0.85–$0.90/pound.  A 5 oz can typically cost $1.10–$1.40, or $3.52–$4.48/pound.  Inflation accelerated (US CPI rose ~7% year-over-year), impacting packa...

For import prices of salmon into the US (which heavily influence domestic availability since the US imports much of its salmon, especially from countries like Chile and Norway), the following trends are observed: 2020 : The import price was approximately $6.04 per kg. This was a peak compared to surrounding years, possibly due to supply chain disruptions from the global pandemic affecting production and shipping. 2021 : Prices dropped to about $5.71 per kg, reflecting a stabilization in supply as the world adjusted to new conditions, though demand remained strong. 2022 : The price rose again to around $6.40 per kg, driven by increased global demand and inflationary pressures impacting production costs (e.g., feed, labor, and fuel). 2023 : Estimates suggest a price of approximately $6.70 per kg, continuing an upward trend as demand for healthy, protein-rich foods like salmon grew, alongside rising costs. 2024 : Projections indicate a further increase to about $7.00 per kg, based on ongo...

2020 Price : A 9.75 oz bag of Doritos (e.g., Nacho Cheese) typically retailed for about $4.29 at major stores like Walmart. This aligns with pre-pandemic pricing, though the year saw disruptions from COVID-19 affecting supply chains. Context : Prices remained relatively stable early in the year, but by late 2020, supply chain issues and increased demand for packaged snacks began nudging costs upward. No significant size reduction was noted yet. 2021 Price : The same 9.75 oz bag stayed around $4.29-$4.50, with slight increases depending on location. Some reports suggest promotional prices (e.g., 2 for $7) were common at stores like No Frills or Walmart. Context : Inflation started to emerge, and input costs (ingredients, packaging, fuel) rose, but PepsiCo (Frito-Lay’s parent company) largely absorbed these early increases rather than passing them fully to consumers. Bag sizes remained consistent. 2022 Price : Prices climbed noticeably to around $4.79-$5.29 for a 9.25 oz bag. This reflec...

2020 All-Milk Price (Farmgate) : The average all-milk price in 2020 was approximately $18.30 per cwt. This reflects a year impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted demand (e.g., school and restaurant closures) but also saw government purchase programs supporting prices until their scheduled end late in the year. Retail Price : The average retail price for a gallon of fresh, whole, fortified milk was around $3.54, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. Prices fluctuated due to supply chain issues and shifting consumer demand. 2021 All-Milk Price : Prices rose to about $19.29 per cwt, driven by recovering demand as the economy reopened, though significant milk production increases kept prices from surging higher. Feed costs also began rising, squeezing margins. Retail Price : The retail price averaged approximately $3.59 per gallon, showing a slight uptick as production costs (e.g., feed, labor) increased and inflation started to creep into consumer prices. 2022 Al...
