(Myrtaceae). This paper estimates the relationship between guava prices and the demand of guava in Colombia. We found that guava consumption is not affected by its price and its demand is highly correlated to income. While socio-economic characteristics such as income, education and household head labor affect the decision-making for consuming guava, other characteristics such as race and the number of household members determine the quantity of guava consumed in a Colombian household. Para el caso de Colombia, no existe ningún trabajo sistemático que busque determinar la demanda de frutas en el país y mucho menos para un producto específico como la guayaba, Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae), más allá de un conjunto de análisis descriptivos sobre el consumo per cápita según distintas características socioeconómicas individuales. Este documento estima la relación entre los precios de la guayaba y su demanda para determinar la dinámica de su consumo en Colombia. Se encontró que el consumo de la guayaba no es afectado por el cambio de sus precios y que, además, las cantidades demandadas varían más que proporcionalmente al cambio de los ingresos de los hogares consumidores. Mientras que características socioeconómicas como el estrato, el nivel educativo y las circunstancias laborales del jefe de hogar afectan la decisión de consumir guayaba, son otras características como la raza y el número de individuos que componen el hogar las que determinan la cantidad de guayaba que se consumirá en los hogares colombianos. Para o caso da Colômbia, não existe nenhum trabalho sistemático que procure determinar a demanda de frutas no país e muito menos para um produto específico como a goiaba, Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae), além de um conjunto de análises descritivas sobre o consumo per capita segundo distintas características socioeconômicas individuais. Este documento estima a relação entre os preços da goiaba e a sua demanda para deter-minar a dinâmica do seu consumo na Colômbia. Encontrou-se que o consumo da goiaba não é afetado pela mudança dos seus preços e que, ademais, as quantidades demandadas variam mais que proporcionalmente à mudança dos ingressos das famílias consumidores. Enquanto que características socioeconômicas como a estratificação socio-econômica, o nível educativo e as circunstâncias laborais do chefe de família afetam a decisão de consumir goiaba, são outras características como a raça e o número de indivíduos que compõem a família as que determinam a quantidade de goiaba que se consumirá nos lares colombianos.
