      abstract = {This paper investigates significant forces that affect  away-from-home (AFH) meat consumption in China.  Multivariate Tobit models were used to analyze a set of  survey data from 340 households in Jiangsu, Shandong, Inner  Mongolia, Liaoning, and Sichuan Provinces in 2005. AFH meat  consumption accounts for an increasing share of food  consumption expenditure in China. Aside from income level  and urban location, family characteristics (e.g., the  employment status of the wife and the opportunity to  participate in collective consumption) also influence AFH  meat consumption. Beef and mutton consumption is higher in  Inner Mongolia and Liaoning.
This paper makes the case that  studies of food consumption in China should focus on  expenditure on food away from home. In addition, future  studies should integrate food consumption at home with food  consumption away from home. As the Chinese economy  continues to grow and the country becomes more urbanized,  the wealth generated will result in further rapid growth in  AFH beef consumption. Sourcing an adequate supply to meet  the increasing demand will pose a significant challenge for  the Chinese beef industry and the Chinese government.},
