摘要:Consumers' demand for beef, dairy products, and fresh fruits and vegetables contributed to a 3.1 percent increase in the all food Consumer Price Index (CPI) in 2001. The CPI for all food is forecast to increase 2.5 to 3 percent in 2002. The two main components of all food, food at home and food away from home, are also projected to increase 2.5 to 3 percent in 2002.
