Commodity Prices
Commodity prices around the world are increasing, which increases the cost of inputs for the product. Higher prices for all foods because of high demand from Asia, demand for ethanol in gasoline, and higher transportation costs are increasing the price of food. Since Whole Foods sells their goods for a premium price, they are suffering abnormally more as consumers switch to lower cost goods in a recession.
