But there is considerable debate about how much consumers will see these higher prices
show up in their grocery carts. Some analysts, such as Ken Mayland, president of
ClearView Economics in Pepper Pike, Ohio, say food prices are likely to increase enough

"It will likely mean higher prices for corn-based products, which is practically

have increased the country's inflation rate. Last week, the Mexican government struck a
deal with producers and grocery stores to cap tortilla prices.

food inflation at the consumer level will not be affected by ethanol production in 2007
and then will rise 0.2% in 2008 and 0.5% in 2009 because of ethanol production.
"It's probably not going to be all that much," he says, noting more than half of corn is
used to feed animals. But it takes time before higher feeding costs affect retail meat

costs, he says.

see any impact unless corn prices stay high through all of 2007." If that happens,
"Eventually, it is really going to show up on the meat counter."
