- The purchasing power of agricultural crops is low. In the case of cereals or grass dramatically low. How much wheat does it take to sell, to buy the cheapest fabric new car?
- There has never been for a auto from the sale that has to pay so much, if the value of the car is converted to wheat.
For the cheapest Dacia nearly 80 tons of wheat
In the referenced list we will check the prices of the cheapest in the Polish market fabric cars in individual years with the price of wheat. That the power of producing agricultural food is low, we know not from today. And how does this look for autos? The presented prices of vehicles are catalog data.
In last year the cheapest fabric new auto in Poland was the Dacia Sandero. In basic version, without equipment additional, it was offered for 59 tys. PLN. Acknowledge however, that there were such offers hunted, because most prices exceeded 60 tys zl. If we took the prices of feed wheat from July 2024 (and therefore from the harvest period) at 750 zl/t, this shows that that for such basic version we would pay the
equivalent 78.6 t of grain. Much is or not enough? Let each evaluate, however
let’s look how analogous situation looked in previous years.

How does agriculture look like in Kazakhstan?
In 2023 year one of the cheapest available on the market autos was the Mitsubishi Space Star. In the budgeted option priced at 57 thousand £. This is also a size in that amount. In this year only the prices of wheat in the harvest trend were very unstable. Wheat at the beginning of the harvest was priced at 850 zl/t, to at the beginning of August fall to 700 zl/t. A harvest due to rains were significantly stretched in time, few people succeeded in harvesting wheat at the moment, when the market dominated higher prices. Take therefore in this set 775 £/t. At this price for the cheapest in the market auto saloon it would have taken 73.5 t of wheat. That is.More 5 ton less than year after.
In 2022 year better, but and yes much more expensive than 20 years ear
It maybe the situation looked better in 2022 year? Yes, then the prices of agricultural properties were record high. Another issue, that also the costs of production had hiked to the highest amounts in history. However, abstracting one from this issue – there is only the equivalent of the produced by the farmer to potential purchases. In June 2022 year the cheapest new auto sold in Poland was the Hyundai i10. For such car it was necessary to spend less than 48 tys. PLN. For the price of feed wheat let’s assume 1400 zl/t. As shows the equivalent of purchase is slightly over 34 t of wheat. And remember, that 2022 the year was in the whole economy a year of increases. This happened also in motorization.
In 2021 year one of the cheapest options was the Kia Picanto. The small car
from South Korea could be purchased for 40 thousand £. At the price of feed wheat at
a level of 850 zl/t for purchase there would be enough 47 t of grain. In
2020 year in a cost of about 35 thousand £ in the saloon it could buy the Fiat Panda and the mentioned already earlier Data Sandero, among others. With wheat pricing at level 700 £/t the purchase equaled 50 tons of wheat.

Front crops and exploited crops in Mercosur countries
Fall under 30 tons of wheat
Let’s move up to 2015 year. Then Dacia Logan was offered at 29.9 thousand £. Today absolutely has no opportunity to buy a new car, even the most budgeted, at that price. For that you can in the approximate price of wheat. This priced was at that time in the harvest at 660 – 760 zł/t. Take then the value 700 zł/t. It turns out that for a new vehicle they needed about 42 tons of wheat.
Already very distant time appears to have been turned thousands of years. In 2000 year on the market still available was the new Maluch. Fiat 126 P valued was at 12.5 thousand £.Wheat was priced at 440 zl/t. This means a popular Maluch could be purchased for slightly over 28 tons of wheat.
In the second stance these numbers indicate how the power of the product from the farmer. With simultaneous significant increase inputs, prices are only significantly higher than some years
ago. Simultaneously reducing costs is difficult. We are talking about costs of cars, but the increase of
costs affects all branches of industry. Behind the increase in costs is an increase in final product,
