Nope, it’s taxpayer subsidies.
It’s both. Costs decrease with scaled up production, but only if there’s demand for it. Otherwise crops are just wasted.
Plus, it’s not like 100% of crops go to humans in the first place. Harvests get graded, with the first few levels being for human consumption, and the last being for animal or industrial use.
