Food Prices Rise for 4 Reasons

Grocery prices have risen 2-3% each year since 1990. There are four causes of this inflation in world food prices.

First, high gas prices prices lead to higher food prices. Food is transported great distances, especially if imported. That raises shipping costs, which translates into higher food prices. High gas prices are caused by high oil prices cause high gas prices. It usually takes about six weeks for increases in oil futures to translate to the pump.

Oil byproducts are also used to make fertilizer. That contributes 20% of the cost of raising grain.  Higher oil prices increase corn, wheat, and soybean cost by 40% between 2001 and 2007. 

Second, the U.S. government subsidizes corn production that is used for bio-fuels. This takes corn out of the food supply, raising prices. America now uses 40% of its corn crop to make ethanol. That's up from 6% in 2000. (Source: "Oily Food," The Economist<span> , October 10, 2015)</span>

Which of these should you consider while communicating in a diverse workplace?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

A. Culture

Explanation:

Culture is very important and is reflective of how people communicate and etc. For example, the big business setting in China differs from America, so you would want to know how to be respectful of their culture. In China, when giving and receiving business cards, you have to accept it with two hands, not one hand. Failure to do so will cause you to look rude!

I hope this helps clear things up!

Why is it important for businesses to their heavy users?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The Heavy users of a business are those people who comprise about 20% of the business's consumers and yet buy so much that they bring in about 80% of the business's revenue.

Heavy users also have an impact on light users because they can market the goods to light users whether indirectly or directly when they use so much of a business's goods and services.

It is therefore very important that the business knows of these heavy users so that they can focus marketing strategies on them as well as to offer them incentives that will keep them satisfied and coming back for more because if they don't act and they lose their heavy users, their revenues will see a significant drop.
