The two charts above show that 1.) the price of organic carrots has fallen more than the price of conventional carrots in a given time period and 2.) the resulting price gap between organic and conventional carrots has decreased over the same period. This does not mean that the price of organic carrots has fallen below the price of conventional carrots. Rather, it indicates that the organic carrots have become cheaper relative to conventional carrots, thereby making the “organic price premium” smaller. I could certainly have included items other than carrots in this analysis, but the simplicity of the post and availability of data required a smaller sample.
