From producer to consumer

- Imports The price of imported food when it arrives in the country.
- Producer The food industry’s price at the factory gate.
- Shelf The consumer price: what you pay in the shop, VAT included.

Consumer prices
What the consumer pays in the shop, VAT included. It is the harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP), calculated the same way in every country.
The chain
The other three are measured earlier, without VAT. Farm: what the grower gets. Imports: what imported food costs at the border. Producer: the food industry’s price at the factory gate. They do not measure profit margins.
Price level
Compares what the same basket costs in each country, with the EU at 100 (Eurostat, purchasing power parities). 105 means 5% dearer than the EU average.
Cumulative change
It shows how much the index has changed since January of the year you pick. The annual change compares with the same month a year earlier.
The EU comparison
For some products (such as bread and olive oil) Eurostat publishes no EU average, so you see the countries only. Greece has no producer or import prices for every product.
The latest months
Farm prices lag by a few months and producer and import prices by a month; consumer prices are the most recent.
