Well, if you insist.... to make pencils they use elves that are yet to be unionized, and work at much lower wages in elfin sweatshops. That's also how Santa can supply so many toys at cut rates.

To make graphite rod (and tube as well) they use magic fairies. Magic fairies are unionized, and there are also much fewer magic fairies than there are elves, so due to supply and demand they charge much higher wages. Also fairy dust is very hard to come by these days, thus driving up the cost of production.

Now you know the whole story.
