| Title: | FOOD CONSUMPTION PATTERNS IN TWO COMMUNITIES |
| Authors: | Mmakola, D.J.
Kirsten, Johann F.
Groenewald, Jan A. |
| Issue Date: | 1997-06 |
| Abstract: | A survey on food consumption patterns was conducted in an urban black community and a
rural black community. Urban consumers tend to consume more bread, and less maize meal
than rural consumers. Urban consumers consume more meat than poverty-stricken rural
dwellers. The same is true with respect to fruit and ready-made foods. Both quality and price
are important considerations for consumers' food purchases, particularly rural consumers.
Price appears to be less important to the higher income (> R2000 per month) consumers in
purchases of bread and meat, but rather important in vegetable purchases. Almost 60 per cent
never consume food at away from home food establishments. |
