I'll give you an actual example. In 2022, the average farm gate price for a 50-pound case of green cabbage was under $16, so less than 30¢ a pound. The best sale at the grocery store this year was 99¢ a pound, so triple what the grower received. A head of cabbage usually sells for between $1.49 and $1.79 a pound, which is five to six times what the grower can get.
