Aggregative Analysis of Food Consumption in Pakistan (Notes & Comments)

Abstract

In this study we shall examine the influence of the major determinants of food consumption, viz., level of per capita income, price structure, differences in preferences and availability of commodities. We shall analyse the con¬sumption pattern as revealed by consumer survey as well as food balance-sheet to point out any inconsistency between consumption as reported by consumers and availability of food as shown by food balance-sheet.
