560% markup from raw material to finished product on the shelves. That sounds about ... fine to me? But was this a pro-capitalism/freemarkets post that I misinterpreted because this is Lemmy?

Is he just selling the wheat? So you still need to thresh, seperate the chaff, clean it, mill it, make the dough, bake it, and stock it. Baking it is especially expensive I bet- power isn't cheap. Bread is one of the things I'm continually surprised at how cheap it is, considering how much work goes into it.

power is cheap, distribution is expensive. most of the cost of electricity is marketing, admin, and maintaining the distribution networks.

most of the process you described is automated, very little cost for it to occur. again its the distribution that leads to large increases. have to pay the driver, have to move the load, have to get all the pre-reqs to each location to perform the process.

Power is not cheap in the UK. Mostly down to a warmongering shitbird to the east ramping up the price of gas, and most of our grid still running on that.

pretty sure it doesn't take a kilogram of flour to make a loaf of bread, maybe a pound.

It doesn't say flour. It says wheat.

How much does a kilogram of wheat weigh?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Probably between a kilogram of feathers and a kilogram of steel.
