The graph was ~~stolen~~ researched from the website given in the cite. My reading was a double Y axis reflecting independent datasets. What I liked was the way it showed the use of food for fuel is right up there with the use of food for food.
I'm ashamed (intellectually) to say, "I don't." DeAnander may know an expert in the field.

Bananas were about $.33 to .39 per pound on sale last year. This year I can find them for $.49, but not often. Grapes from Chile could be found on sale for $.99 last year, this year more like 1.49 minimum. I should add that my reference location is the Pacific NW.

Some of that may be exchange-based due to the declining dollar, but these items come from Central to far-South America, and I don't know if they are still somewhat aligned or not.
