Peanut-Butter Increase It's Price

The article "Peanut-Butter Makers Face Crunch" by Paul Ziobro is about how the peanut-butter brands are increasing their price. They increased the price for the tons of peanuts used to make peanut butter.

In the story it says "Wholesale prices for big-selling Jif are going up 30% starting in November, while Peter Pan will raise prices as much as 24%." This shows that the original price would be a dollar more starting in November. Also in the story a spokeswomen said "Kraft Foods Inc., which launched Planters peanut butter in June, is raising prices 40% on Oct. 31." This mean that 40% will be added to the original price of Kraft Food Inc. peanut-butter on Oct. 31.

I think they should increase the price of peanut-butter. I think so because their is a lot of peanuts used to make peanut-butter. Also because, the peanut farmers have to plant the peanuts in the dry weather and their not getting paid enough. One farmer said "'I don’t remember a year that you didn’t catch a shower or had so little moisture in the ground to get the seed up'"

No this article don't reflect on me or what i did in life. It did a little bit make me think deeper into the topic. This article makes me wonder if your parents will still go out and but peanut-butter over the next year. Or would a 30% increase of the prices of peanut-butter reduce how much peanut-butter your parents buy.
