minus-squareares35@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up23·1年前overall sales are up, prices are waaay tf up. gross margins are down slightly, but they’re taking that 27.7% (vs 28.1%) from a larger pie. profits are up.

If anything, the agrifood business that they sell to are pushing the farm gate price down, while at the same time input costs continue to rise.
