UPDATE:
Thank you all for the insights shared in the comments. This is really helpful!
I welcome your explanation on WTF is happening with the grain price, while the weapon raw material is still so high. Thank you!

because energy bars are bought or donated, replacing food, weapons are not.
everybody wants to get rid of it to get cc, it is not needed that much more than usually. Weapons instead are consumed much more and even their price has not skyrocketed like a year or two back they used to do wit a campaign like this.
I dont know but id guess thats one of the reasons.Also the new daily challenge has probably an effect on this matter, getting people to wam (even those who did not before). Who knows at the end of the day. It¨s good time to make flour and bake.
Also those who buy raws they buy all but one from the lowest offer so that new offers would be even lower...
No explanation different from the ones above, but I gave you 5 bucks!
Well maybe the govt. is paying them to destroy crops 🙂

Baaaa
Since the Daily Challenge got updated, the game generates much more FRM and WRM altogether. Thats why prices of both sank significantly. Since the daily challenge releases WRMs much later (at 60 activity points, vs. 20 & 40 for FRM), I assume that more FRMs are created than WRMs because all those two clickers might not reach 60 activity points daily.
Thats the supply side, and on the demand side there are simply not enough Food production capacities present to suck up all the excess FRMs flooding the market. Most of the food is still produced in Q1 and Q2 factories, while weapons are predominantly Q7 which need ALOT more raw materials.
In the past, Typically FRM's have been about 1/3 of what WRM's cost. That changed I believe during the events that required using a lot of energy / food and brought the prices closer together.
Now, what Charlie Sheen just said, many added FRM plants for the new Daily Challenge, so now the need for FRM's has died back down again.
I also think the bans of many high ranking people also played a role. A lot of production capability was removed from the game and it took the new weekly challenge for people to catch up / make up the difference. If FRM's do go back up to the same price as WRM's ill be surprised..
Plato's buying bot got javelined on the FRM branch
Thank you all for the explanations! With this new understanding I can make informed decisions for the future of my production.
At normal recovery rates, the max. recovery is about 20k Energy per day, which requires 100 FRM to be produced and the Daily Challenge gives each citizen 25% of their own potential consumption of FRM. That has huge implications on the market.
The max. recovery is rarely upscaled by events and even if so, only significantly during the anniversary.
Even Airstrikes don't make up that much.
The Q7 weapon consumption is easily upscaled by events handing out energy bars, carrots or other energy boposters that don't require food and by other incentives to just spend the energy bars people already have.
Also, it's much easier to consume WRM than to produce it. I own about 250 Q7 weapon companies. Those require the output of 4000 Q5 WRM companies each day a. The max. demand has been higher for WRM than the max. supply, so adding free supply from Plato didn't topple the market.
