How much time do you spend cost-comparing products before you buy them? A recent study found that “consumers spend an average of 79 days gathering information before making a major purchase.”[1] In the last few years alone, world events have had a major effect on the agricultural sector. Between labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and climate effects, farmers face real headaches reaching levels of profitability. With so many world events impacting costs, companies often pass those costs on to consumers. “Last year, 39% of companies surveyed increased prices due to increasing costs and to keep up with inflation,” according to a recent State of Pricing 2024 from Simon Kucher.[2]
