| description | This study uses a food consumption survey of rural households to examine
the determinants of food demand in Borno State, Nigeria. The Linear-Approximate
Almost Idea Demand System (LA/AIDS) model was used in analysis of data. Results
showed that the income elasticities (expenditure) for animal protein and fat & oil are
positive but greater than one, while those of cereals, legumes, roots & tubers and
vegetables & fruits were less than one but positive. The policy implication of this
finding is that due to the high cost of animal protein, it is important to introduce new
recipe of legume-based food in order to supplement protein intake. |
