Food prices have been rising sharply—a trend that’s expected to continue. Still, they remain low compared to prices over the past century.

    I think you've got your "Trend" and "Actual" labels reversed.

    Otherwise, thanks for the interesting chart!

    I have a web site where I give investment advise on penny stocks and stocks under five dollars. I have many years of experience with these type of stocks. If theirs anyone thats interested in these type of stocks you can check out my web site by just clicking my name. I would like to comment about very serious food shortages all over the world. Their is a stock that I think can benifit from the coming food shortages. The company Bunge Limited symbol {BG} engages in the agriculture and food businesses in approximately 30 countries. It buys, sells, stores, and transports oilseeds and grains; processes oilseeds to make protein meal for animal feed, and edible oil products for commercial customers and consumers; produces sugar and ethanol from sugarcane; mills wheat and corn to make ingredients used by food companies; and sells fertilizer in North and South America. The company was founded in 1818 and is headquartered in White Plains, New York’ this stock has a market cap of just 11 billion dollars but the company does 45 billion dollars in annual sales. I also believe that the company could become an attractive takover target because of its low valuation.
