FOREWORD The Bureau of Agricultural Statistics conducted the 2012 Survey of Food

Demand for Agricultural Commodities (SFD) in response to the need for updated information on consumption of agricultural commodities. The output of the survey will serve as input in measuring the total food requirement of the country and as firm basis for buffer stocking and making decision to import. The survey was conducted in four (4) rounds; in the months of February, May, August and November. It covered 13,718 sample households across the country.

The results of the 2012 Survey of Food Demand for Agricultural Commodities

(SFD) are contained in the report entitled “Consumption of Selected Agricultural Commodities in the Philippines”. The report consists of two (2) volumes. This is Volume I which presents the findings on the average per capita consumption by commodity at the national and regional levels. It also describes the background information and other details about the characteristics and practices of the households regarding food consumption.

The BAS gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Department of

Agriculture (DA). The BAS likewise appreciates the cooperation of the sample households and the respondents who were interviewed by the Bureau’s hired data collectors during the four (4) rounds of the survey.

As in other BAS publications, we welcome comments and suggestions from data

users and readers of this report.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

The conduct of the 2012 Survey of Food Demand for Agricultural Commodities is guided by the following concepts and definitions, coverage and classification system.

Household refers to a person or a group of persons, generally but not necessarily

bound by ties of kinship, who live together under the same roof and eat together or share in common household food.

Socio-economic classification of households was based on the Social Weather Station (SWS) guidelines.

1. AB (Upper Class) – the most affluent group whose homes and lifestyles exude

an obvious disregard for or lack of economizing.

2. C (Middle Class) – those households whose income and lifestyle reflect comfortable living and the capacity to indulge in few luxuries.

3. D (Lower Class) – those households who have some comfort and means but basically thrive on a hand to mouth existence.

4. E (Extremely Lower Class) – those households who evidently face great difficulties in meeting their basic survival needs.

Household members are those who have been living in the household during the

reference period. Members comprised the head of the household, relatives living with him and all those who are treated by him as such. They may therefore include non-family members (the family being composed of father, mother and children) such as parents, in-laws, sisters, brothers, and other persons who share the community life for reasons of work or other considerations.

Household membership refers to membership of a household in reference to the usual place of residence or the place where the person usually resides. This may be the same or different from the place where he is found at the time of the survey. As a rule, it is a place where he usually sleeps. Thus, the following individuals are to be included as members of the household; those whose usual place of residence in the housing unit where the household lives and are considered as such by the household (e.g., boarders/lodgers of the household or employees of household-operated businesses who do not usually go to their respective homes weekly).

xv

Main Occupation refers to the gainful work or activity that provides the major source of income during the reference period e.g., teacher, farmer, sari-sari store operator, tricycle driver, etc.

Classifying occupation is based on the 2002 Philippine Standard Occupational

Classification (PSOC) as follows:

1. Officials of the Government and Special Interest Organizations, Corporate Executives, Managers Managing Proprietors and Supervisors

2. Professionals 3. Technicians and Associate Professionals 4. Clerks 5. Service Workers and Shop and Market Sales Workers 6. Farmers, Forestry Workers and Fishermen 7. Craft and Related Trades Workers 8. Plant and Machine Operators and Assemblers 9. Elementary Occupation: Laborers and Unskilled Workers

Total household income refers to the gross income/total earnings (on-farm, off-

farm and non-farm) of all the qualified family members of the household including income from other sources. Income from other sources refers to income from winnings of game of chance, gifts, commission, household rentals, etc., which form part of the household gross income. Income of the househelp is not included because it is considered as an expense of the household.

Food commodities covered in the survey: 1. Rice (plain) refers to cooked rice converted in original raw form. The

quantity of rice leftover that was wasted/spoiled, fed to animals/pets and rice that was purposely cooked for pets and other animals is excluded from the household consumption.

2. Corn includes corn in cob, corn grits and shelled corn. Corn in cob includes raw, green ears, boiled or roasted. Popcorn, cornick, fried corn and “binatog” fall under the “shelled corn”. Corn in cob and corngrits are converted into shelled corn equivalent.

3. Vegetables, legumes, condiments and root crops are those acquired fresh.

These may be eaten/consumed fresh or cooked. Likewise, fruits are consumed fresh or ripe. Green or unripe papaya and jackfruit are excluded under fruits since these are considered as vegetables. Onion is in the form of bulb.

xvi

4. Meat includes pork, beef, carabeef, chevon (goat), chicken and duck acquired as fresh and cooked/prepared in the household. Cooked meat that are taken home from outside (bought or free) like fried, boiled or roasted and consumed in the household are also included. Processed meat, e.g., tapa, tocino, longaniza, and similar products are included only if they are prepared at home.

5. Egg includes only table (fresh) egg coming either from chicken or duck. Salted eggs, century eggs and “balut” are not included.

6. Fresh/pasteurized milk refers to fresh and pasteurized milk from cow, carabao or goat. Milk gone through the process of Ultra High Temperature (UHT) is not included.

7. Fish and marine products include food items such as milkfish, tilapia, roundscad (galunggong), tuna (all species), dalagang bukid, shrimp and mussels which are in fresh form. Dried fish or “daing”, smoked fish or “tinapa” and similar products are included only if they are prepared at home.

8. Noodles include bihon/sotanghon, pasta, canton, fresh miki, instant noodles and rice noodles (misua).

9. Bread refers to “pandesal” and among others are sliced/loaf bread and buns.

Buying pattern refers to the frequency of buying by the households of the commodities whether consumed or not during the past seven (7) days on the reference period of the survey.

Rice/corn leftovers refers to the remaining or unconsumed portion of a meal. Spoilage refers to the process of decaying in foods especially when caused by bacteria or fungi. Wastage refers to losses; decrease or destruction of something by use.

Staple food refers to the food that is eaten regularly in every meal and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a meal. It is usually inexpensive, readily available and supplies one or more of the three organic macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats. For Filipinos, the usual staples include rice, corn, and root crops like cassava and gabi.

Rice substitution by the rice-eating households refers to eating other commodities like corn, camote, cassava, gabi, white potato, banana saba, bread, instant noodles, etc. in place of rice in any meal during the past seven (7) days of the reference survey periods.

xvii

Rice extender refers to commodity/ies such as corn, banana (saba), camote, cassava, etc., which are mixed in cooking rice when rice available in the household is not enough.

Blank cells in the statistical tables indicate that there was no report for a

particular data item.

2012 Survey of Food Demand for Agricultural Commodities in the Philippines

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Background and Rationale

The Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS) has conducted three (3) Food Consumption Surveys (FCS). The first FCS was done in 1995 following the recommendation of the National Food Authority (NFA) Council to conduct food consumption survey covering cereals, cereal-based products, cereal substitutes and other selected non-grain commodities. The second, as a special assignment from the Department of Agriculture (DA), was conducted in four (4) quarterly rounds – from third quarter of 1999 to second quarter of 2000. It examined the extent of rice substitution. In recognition of the need for consumption data, the BAS has included in its plan of statistical activities the conduct of food consumption survey every five (5) years. However, the BAS has not been successful in implementing this plan because of resources constraint.

In 2008, the BAS implemented its third survey on food consumption. This was in

response to Resolution No. 3 passed by the National Agricultural and Fishery Council (NAFC) Sub-Committee on Cereals which recommended the updating of food consumption data. To account for the other data items included in the questionnaire, this statistical inquiry was as Survey of Food Demand for Agricultural Commodities (SFD). This was conducted from the third quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2009.

Realizing the importance of data on per capita consumption as inputs in

measuring total food requirement of the country and as firm basis for buffer stocking and making decision to import, the Resolution further recommended the conduct of Food Consumption Surveys at least every two (2) years for better monitoring of per capita consumption. Thus, this survey on food consumption was conducted in four (4) rounds in 2012.

B. Objectives

The general objective of the survey is to generate data on per capita consumption of rice, corn, and other agricultural food commodities. Specifically, the survey aims to:

determine the present average per capita consumption of rice, corn, and

other basic agricultural food items; determine the consumption patterns as well as purchasing patterns of

Filipino households; study the shift in consumer’s preference including substitution of rice with

other food commodities; determine the quantity of rice and corn leftovers, wastage, and consumed

by animals/pet; and,

analyze the relationship of demographic and socio-economic factors with food consumption patterns.

II. SURVEY METHODOLOGY

1. Coverage and Frequency of the Survey The 2012 SFD covered sample households in urban and rural barangays in 80

provinces, Zamboanga City, Davao City and the National Capital Region (NCR). The 80 provinces include Batanes and the Province of Dinagat Islands. Among the important data elements gathered were the following:

Quantity of household’s food consumption, buying frequency and price per unit

of food items consumed and number of eaters during the past seven days; Quantity of rice / corn leftovers, wastage and consumption by animals; Extent of rice substitution; and Demographic characteristics of households

The reference period was seven (7) days prior to the date of interview. The

survey was undertaken in four rounds, that is, in the months of February, May, August and November of 2012.

2. Sampling Frame, Sampling Design and Sample Selection The list of barangays in the Philippine Standard Geographic Classification (PSGC) as of September 2011, with corresponding information on 2007-PopCen-based urban-rural classification, estimated 2011 household population and number of households based on 2000 CPH and 2007 PopCen served as the sampling frame for the survey. A two-stage sampling design was used in the survey. The barangay was the primary sampling unit and the household was the secondary sampling unit. For the 80 provinces and the Cities of Zamboanga and Davao, the domain was the province/city and the urban-rural classification was the stratification variable. Sixteen (16) sample barangays, which were proportionately allocated in the strata, were selected using systematic sampling procedure. For NCR, the region served as the domain while the district was used as the stratification variable. Two sample barangays were selected from each city/municipality using systematic sampling procedure.

Selection of sample households in each sample barangay was done during the first survey round (February 2012). The sample households were selected and located through the right coverage procedure based on pre-assigned starting point (sp), random start (rs), and sampling interval (i). All successfully enumerated households during that round were covered in the succeeding rounds. The survey covered a total of 13,718 sample households nationwide.

Right coverage is the fashion by which the data collector looks for qualified sample households along the existing path-structure in a barangay. The right coverage requires that at the landmark-starting point, the data collector’s standing position is such that his/her right shoulder points to the main entrance of the starting point. He/She then moves on along this path, choosing households along the road or passage-way. A range of alleys or “eskinitas” along or intersecting main roads on the right side shall be penetrated in a serpentine manner. Extensions/Other areas to be covered must be adjacent to the original spot and must be penetrated in likewise manner.

A qualified sample household is a household with an available qualified respondent. A qualified respondent is a person who meets the following criteria:

responsible adult household member; knowledgeable of the household’s food consumption as well as the

consumption patterns of the household members; and, willing to provide reliable information for the study.

The respondent may or may not be the household head.

4

The following landmark-starting points were used in the application of the right coverage procedure:

A - barangay hall B – school C - barangay chairperson’s house D - church / chapel / mosque E - barangay secretary’s house F - 1st councilor’s house G - 2nd councilor’s house

H - 3rd councilor’s house I - 4th councilor’s house J - 5th councilor’s house K - 6th councilor’s house L - 7th councilor’s house

A random start (r) was pre-drawn for each sample barangay. Likewise, a

sampling interval (i) of 10 for urban barangays and 5 for rural barangays was followed in this survey. The right coverage procedure, along with the sp, rs and i was applied in locating the sample households.

3. Estimation Procedure

3.1 Household-level Food Consumption

Food consumption was determined for each food item. Estimation of household-level food consumption within and outside the household comprised of four (4) components as follows:

(A) - Food prepared at home and consumed at home by household members; (B) - Delivered / take-out food consumed at home by household members; (C) - Food prepared at home and consumed outside by household members; and

(D) - Food prepared in food establishments and consumed outside by household members

Food consumption within and outside the household, denoted by c, is the sum of components A, B, C and D, expressed as:

DCBAc

5

The first three components were gathered directly from the respondents, while the fourth was derived based on the assumption that the food consumption pattern of household members within the household is more or less the same as the food consumption pattern of household members when they eat in food establishments. In formula terms, D is expressed as:

2

s*m*x

sm

CBAD

where:

m is the total number of man-meals consumed by household members within the household during the past week

s is the total number of man-snacks consumed by household members within the household during the past week

*m is the total number of man-meals consumed by household members in food establishments during the past week

*s is the total number of man-snacks consumed by household members in food establishments during the past week

NOTE: Man-meal is one meal taken by one man. Thus, one person taking three meals is three man-meals and three persons taking one meal each is also three man-meals. In relation to man-snacks, one man-meal is equivalent to two man-snacks.

3.2 Province/Domain-level Estimates

At the province level, the estimated total consumption of a particular food item

during the past week, denoted by Y was computed by direct expansion of corresponding household-level data across all samples, that is,

III. SURVEY OPERATIONS

A. Training Prior to the survey operations, training was conducted to have a uniform understanding of the concepts and procedures. This is an important step towards minimizing the errors committed during field operations. For all survey rounds, several levels of training were conducted. The first level was the training of Central Office technical staff which was conducted at the Central Office. They provided technical back-stopping support to field operations on selected provinces. The second level was the training of the RASOs (Regional Agricultural Statistics Officer) and PASOs (Provincial Agricultural Statistics Officer). The third level involved the trainings of the POC staffs who handled most of the field supervision work, and the contractual data collectors (CDCs) who undertook the data gathering.

To maximize understanding of the survey concepts and procedures, training of POC staff and CDCs included the following activities:

Discussion of concepts and procedures; Dry run exercises in a non-sample barangay which provided the training

participants with hands-on experience of the things discussed in the lectures; Clearing /discussion and addressing of issues and gray areas that emerged

during the dry-run exercise; and, Discussion of consistency checks/editing procedures.

8

B. Field Data Collection Data collection was done by Contractual Data Collectors (CDCs) under the supervision of the POCs ad ROCs staff. The following activities were conducted during the field operations:

Searching for and enumeration of qualified sample households (face-to-face interview were used in the process);

Filling up of the call sheet; Monitoring and spot-checking by field supervisors; and, Back-checking of completed barangays by field supervisors.

The following materials were used:

Questionnaires Enumerator’s manual List of sample barangays Call sheets Pencil

C. Supervision Field supervisors should ensure that the field operations run smoothly and within schedule. Their responsibilities as supervisors included observing the data collectors, made follow ups, spot-checked the interviewers, edited completed questionnaires and back-checked their work especially when incomplete or inconsistent entries were found in the data collector’s work. They were always on top of the situation and addressed problems encountered within their supervision areas.

IV. DATA PROCESSING Two (2) systems were developed for SFD. One was the Census Survey Processing

(CSPro) 4.1 which was used for data capture and error listing and the other was MS Excel which was used for generation of output tables.

Data capture, error listing and data cleaning were done at the Provincial

Operations Centers (POCs) in two stages: manual editing and electronic data processing. Manual editing involved item-by-item checks on the consistency and completeness of the data. On the other hand, electronic data processing involved data coding, encoding, data cleaning/error listing and generation of output tables.

9

The clean data files were sent to the Central Office for further processing and data checking or validation. The staff of Information Communication Technology Division (ICTD) exported the data files from CSPro to MS Excel and forwarded to Agricultural Accounts and Statistical Indicators Division (AASID) for the generation of output tables, review and analysis.

V. DATA REVIEW AND ANALYSIS The Socio-Economic Statistics Section (SESS) of AASID spearheaded the conduct of meetings in preparation for the review of all output tables for the four (4) survey rounds (February, May, August and November 2012). Two technical groups i.e. the Data Review and Analysis Team and the Technical Working Group on Agricultural Accounts and Indicators were tasked to review, analyze and interpret the data.

Data review and validation of the household level data were conducted before the tables on per capita consumption by region and by quarter were finalized. Weekly and annual averages of per capita consumption by commodity with urban and rural disaggregation and by socio-economic class were analyzed. The survey results were validated with other related information from various surveys and censuses. Estimates of the 2012 per capita consumption were compared with the results of the 1995 BAS-NFA Food Consumption Survey, 1999-2000 BAS Food Consumption Survey, 2008-2009 BAS Survey of Food Demand for Agricultural Commodities, the 2003 FNRI Food Consumption Survey and the 2011 Supply Utilization Accounts for Selected Agricultural Commodities.

among the households. Only 1.61 to 2.62 percent ate gabi in place of rice while less than 1.00 percent of the households preferred white potato as substitute commodity for rice. Higher incidences of substitution of gabi at 17.59 percent

32

and 19.99 percent of the households were observed in MIMAROPA during the months of May and August, respectively. In the same reference months, eating white potato was reported by 2.60 to 2.72 percent of the households in MIMAROPA.

The proportion of households that substituted banana (saba) for rice ranged

from 11.14 percent in May to 14.29 percent in August. By region, SOCCSKSARGEN had the highest proportion of households that consumed banana (saba) instead of rice at 37.11 percent in February, 36.11 percent in August and 59.52 percent in November. During the months of May and August, Western Visayas accounted for the biggest proportion of households that substituted saba in place of rice at around 34 percent.

Among the substitutes for rice, bread was preferred by 40.22 percent to 46.19

percent of households across reference months. At the regional level, more households in CALABARZON substituted bread for rice in the months of February and May at 72.78 percent and 80.30 percent, respectively. Central Luzon also accounted for the highest percentage of households that ate bread instead of rice at 70.54 percent in November and 78.82 percent in May.

Nationwide, about 7.97 percent to 10.11 percent of households consumed

instant noodles in place of rice during meals. By region, NCR posted the biggest proportion of households that substituted instant noodles for rice at 30.49 percent during February, 50.20 percent during May and 44.90 percent during August. In November, more households in Cagayan Valley ate instant noodles instead of rice at 39.98 percent.

Other substitutes for rice that were reported by 0.95 percent to 2.17 percent of households in the country included rice cakes, biscuit or cookies, cereals or oatmeals, yam, tacos, pasta, bihon, canton, fresh miki, banana (Cavendish and Lakatan) and mango. These other commodities were highly preferred in NCR during May to November by 11.59 percent to 38.99 percent of the households.

When asked on the main reason for rice substitution, preference for the food

items was mentioned by 28.87 percent of households that ate white potato to 62.59 percent of households that consumed bread instead of rice.

Next to preference for the food item, affordability of the commodity caused the

households to eat rice substitutes at least once during meals. This was dominant among 25.10 percent of households that consumed corn in place of rice; 19.09 percent, cassava; 17.94 percent, instant noodles; and 16.42 percent, camote.

The availability of the food item also prompted the households to prefer

substitutes for rice during meals. This was reported by 30.36 percent and 21.75

33

percent of households that ate white potato and banana (saba) instead of rice, respectively.

Unaffordability to buy rice was cited as another reason for rice substitution. This

was mentioned by 13.78 percent of households that consumed corn in place of rice; 15.32 to 15.53 percent of those that ate banana (saba) and cassava; and 18.00 percent each of those that took other root crops like white potato, gabi and camote instead of rice.

The lack of time in cooking rice was the main reason of 22.16 percent of households for substituting instant noodles for rice during the reference period.

Due to unavailability of viand, some households resorted to eating substitute

commodities. This was attested by almost 11.00 percent each of the households that had camote and banana (saba) instead of rice during meals.

A few households also mentioned other reasons for rice substitution. These

included the unavailability of rice in the area, or household residence was far from the source of rice; poor quality of available rice; the substitute commodity was easier to prepare; health concern and minimizing rice consumption.

F. MIXING OF RICE WITH OTHER COMMODITIES (Table 19)

Nationwide, only few households mixed corn or other commodities in cooking rice across reference months. This was practiced by at least 0.35 percent of households during November and 1.27 percent of households during February.

At the regional level, bigger proportions of households that mixed corn and

other commodities with rice were noted in Caraga and Zamboanga Peninsula at more than 5.0 percent each during the month of February.

G. RICE AND CORN LEFTOVERS, WASTAGE/SPOILAGE AND CONSUMPTION BY ANIMALS/PETS (Tables 20.1-20.6)

On the average, 4.34 grams of rice were wasted per household weekly in the country. This corresponded to about 0.23 kilogram of wasted rice per household per year. More spoilage in rice was counted in February at 5.97 grams and in May at 4.58 grams per household per week.

By region, more than 7.00 grams of rice per household per week were wasted

each in Central Luzon and Davao Region. Likewise, the average rice wastage per

34

household on a weekly basis in CAR, Ilocos Region, CALABARZON and the Visayas Regions had exceeded the national average.

Nationwide, the quantity of leftover rice fed to pets and animals averaged 33.29

grams per household weekly or 1.73 kilograms of rice per year. Across reference months, the amount of leftover rice fed to pets and animals was also found higher in February and May at 35.27 grams and 38.58 grams per household, respectively.

At the regional level, the biggest quantity of leftover rice that was fed to pets and

animals was recorded in CAR at 86.97 grams per household per week. Correspondingly, 76.43 grams and 58.26 grams of rice per household were left for consumption of pets and animals in Cagayan Valley and Ilocos Region. In contrast, minimal amount of rice leftovers per week per household were fed to pets and animals in NCR at 2.85 grams and in ARMM at 11.05 grams.

The weekly average quantity of rice that was purposely cooked for pets/animals

was 5.99 grams per household. On a yearly basis, this added up to 311.59 grams of rice. By reference month, more quantities of rice were purposely cooked for pets/animals during February and May at about 6.29 to 7.12 grams per household.

Across regions, Central Luzon registered the highest weekly amount of rice

intended for animal consumption averaging 16.91 grams. It was also bigger in CAR at 11.97 grams and Cagayan Valley at 11.05 grams. In NCR and Central Visayas, the weekly average quantity of rice purposely cooked for animals was less than one (1) gram each.

In terms of the quantity of corn wastage in the country, it averaged 0.22 gram

per household per week. February and August were the usual months when corn wastage or spoilage among households was higher at 0.27 gram and 0.25 gram, respectively.

By region, the amount of corn wastage on a weekly basis ranged from 0.01 gram

in Bicol Region and Western Visayas to 1.69 grams in Central Visayas.

The amount of leftover corn that was fed to pets/animals averaged 2.08 grams per household weekly. During February and August, more than 2.00 grams of corn per week were leftovers that were used by households to feed their pets/animals.

At the regional level, Central Visayas indicated the biggest quantity of leftover

corn that was fed to pets/animals at an average of 14.89 grams per household per week. In Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula, and Davao Region, the quantities fed averaged 4.63 grams to 7.33 grams per week.

35

Nationwide, an average of 0.52 gram of corn was purposely cooked for pets/animals per household on a weekly basis. February posted the biggest weekly quantity intended by the households for the consumption of pets/animals at more than one (1) gram of corn. Across regions, households in SOCCSKSARGEN reported a weekly average of 3.05 grams of corn purposely cooked to be fed for their pets/animals.

H. INFLUENCE OF DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS ON CONSUMPTION

Per Capita Consumption and Socio-Economic Class (Table 21)

In terms of socio-economic class, Class AB households or the affluent group indicated higher consumption of rice, white potato, most vegetables, fruits, meat and poultry products, fish and other marine products, noodles and bread. On the average, this group of households consumed 122.87 kilograms of rice yearly. Among root crops, white potato consumption was 2.01 kilograms per person per year. Class AB households registered the highest per capita consumption of tomato at 5.05 kilograms; banana (except saba) at 15.15 kilograms; pork at 15.76 kilograms; chicken at 12.27 kilograms; chicken eggs at 5.64 kilograms; milkfish at 6.39 kilograms; instant noodles at 2.93 kilograms; and “pandesal” at 7.95 kilograms.

The middle class or Class C households were the lead consumers of other meat and poultry products such as carabeef, chevon (goat), duck egg and fresh/pasteurized milk with average per capita consumption of 0.24 kilogram, 0.16 kilogram, 0.23 kilogram and 0.36 liter, respectively. Likewise, these households ate bigger quantities of okra at 1.07 kilograms per person per year.

Class D households, the lower class, recorded the biggest per capita consumption of vegetables like gourd (upo), mongo, duck meat and roundscad (Galunggong) which corresponded to 1.09 kilograms, 0.84 kilogram, 0.14 kilogram and 6.05 kilograms.

Households belonging to the poorest group or Class E indicated lesser consumption of most commodities. This group consumed the least quantity of rice at 109.53 kilograms per person per year. On the other hand, Class E households were the biggest consumers of rice substitutes such as corn, camote, cassava, gabi and saba at average rates of 21.13 kilograms, 5.19 kilograms, 4.74 kilograms, 1.79 kilograms and 12.13 kilograms, respectively. Similarly, Class E households ate bigger quantities of stringbeans at 1.92 kilograms and mussels at 0.72 kilogram per person annually.

36

Per Capita Consumption and Household Income (Table 22)

The survey indicated that as household income increases, consumption of rice increases while that of corn decreases. Correspondingly, households belonging to the 1st income class (< P80, 000) registered the lowest per capita consumption of rice at 111.36 kilograms while households belonging to the 5th income class (>P1,000,000) recorded the biggest rice consumption at 122.58 kilograms per person annually. In the case of corn, those belonging to the 1st income class (< P80, 000) and 2nd income class (P80,001 to P135,000) indicated bigger per person consumption at 18.05 kilograms and 9.11 kilograms, respectively. In contrast, consumption of corn was lowest at 1.13 kilograms for households belonging to the 4th income class (P500,001 to P1,000,000).

For most root crops, the effect of income on consumption was negative. However, a positive effect of income was noted for the consumption of white potato. The per capita consumption levels of camote and cassava were higher among the 1st income class (< P80, 000) at 5.50 kilograms and 4.53 kilograms, respectively. It was lower among the 4th income class (P500,001 to P1,000,000) at 2.84 kilograms for camote and 1.06 kilograms for cassava. The average annual consumption per person of white potato was highest in households belonging to the 5th income class at 2.26 kilograms while it was lowest among households in the 1st income class at 0.32 kilogram.

Similar to rice, consumption of vegetables was higher among households belonging to the upper income classes. In the 5th income class, the average annual per capita consumption ranged from 0.59 kilogram for habitchuelas to 5.37 kilograms for tomato. The 4th income class reported the biggest consumption per person of chayote, habitchuelas and garlic at 2.39 kilograms, 0.66 kilogram and 2.29 kilograms, respectively.

Except for saba, consumption of most fruits increases as income increases. Households in the 5th income class posted the biggest per capita consumption of banana (except saba) at 17.97 kilograms, pineapple at 3.13 kilograms, papaya at 3.82 kilograms and calamansi at 1.94 kilograms. For mango, larger quantities were eaten by households in the 4th income class at 7.29 kilograms per person per year. In contrast, saba was highly preferred by the households belonging to the 1st income class with per capita consumption at 12.07 kilograms annually.

Most meat and poultry products recorded higher per capita consumption in the 4th and 5th income classes. The least consumption of these food items were reported by households in the 1st income class. However, consumption per person of duck egg was highest among households belonging to the 1st income class at 0.23 kilogram and lowest among households in the 5th income class at 0.03 kilogram. For chevon and duck meat, households in the 3rd or middle

37

income class (P135,001 to P500,000) recorded the biggest yearly consumption corresponding to 0.13 kilogram and 0.15 kilogram per person.

For fish and other marine products, consumption levels were also found higher in households within the 4th and 5th income classes. These households consumed an average of 0.59 kilogram of mussels to 7.12 kilograms of tilapia. The least per capita consumption levels of milkfish at 1.98 kilograms, tilapia at 3.22 kilograms and shrimp at 0.38 kilogram were noted among households in the 1st income class. Lesser quantities of dalagang bukid and tuna (all species) were also consumed by households belonging to the lower income classes (2nd to 3rd income classes).

Bigger quantities of noodles and bread were consumed by the households belonging to higher income classes (4th or 5th income class) and least for households in the lowest income class. On the average, these households with higher income consumed about 0.77 kilogram of fresh miki to 10.06 kilograms of “pandesal” per person annually. However, in the case of rice noodles (misua), the biggest per capita consumption at 0.11 kilogram was recorded among households in the lower income class.

Per Capita Consumption and Household Size (Table 23)

Generally, consumption of food items decreases as the household size increases. This was evident for rice where the yearly per capita consumption averaged 123.82 kilograms among households with one (1) to three (3) members and decreased to 107.35 kilograms per person among households with 12 or more members. The same pattern was observed in the consumption of camote, most vegetables, papaya, pork, tilapia and tuna.

On the other hand, corn consumption per person increased with bigger household size. Households with four (4) to five (5) members consumed the least quantity of corn at 8.93 kilograms and peaked at 13.96 kilograms among households with 10 to 11 members.

In the case of other commodities such as cassava, gabi, beef, chicken and duck eggs, other marine products, legumes, most fruits, noodles and bread, per capita consumption was initially high among households with one (1) to five (5) members then decreased as household size increased to six (6) to nine (9) members. But, consumption levels went up again among the households with 10 or more members.

38

Per Capita Consumption and Ratio of Working Members (Table 24)

The results of the survey showed that households with more working members

had higher per capita consumption of the food items except for corn. Households with 80 to 100 percent working members reported the biggest per capita consumption for rice at 139.88 kilograms yearly. Households with less than or equal to 20 percent working members cited the lowest consumption of rice at 105.26 kilograms.

For corn, the top consumers were noted among households with less than or equal to 20 percent working members. This group recorded per capita consumption at 11.22 kilograms annually. Those with 60 to 79 percent working members, likewise, consumed more of corn at 12.60 kilograms per person per year. Corn consumption was lowest among households with 80 to 100 percent working members at 8.38 kilograms.

Per Capita Consumption and Classification of Barangays (Table 25)

According to barangay classification, households in rural barangays had bigger

per capita consumption of rice and corn than households in urban barangays. Rice consumption among rural households averaged 117.60 kilograms per year. This was about six (6) kilograms higher than the consumption of urban households at 111.47 kilograms. For corn, the disparity in consumption was high at about 11.45 kilograms with rural households consuming an average of 16.50 kilograms while urban households ate about 5.05 kilograms yearly.

Except for white potato, root crops were highly preferred in rural barangays with annual per capita consumption ranging from 1.80 kilograms for gabi to 5.66 kilograms for camote.

On the average, households in urban barangays consumed more of temperate or upland vegetables such as carrots at 0.66 kilogram; cabbage at 1.74 kilograms; pechay at 1.20 kilograms; and habitchuelas at 0.23 kilogram. They were also heavy consumers of condiments like tomato at 3.55 kilograms; onion at 2.60 kilograms; and garlic at 1.69 kilograms. On the other hand, households in rural barangays ate more of the tropical vegetables and legumes. Of these, eggplant was consumed at 4.44 kilograms per person per year. This was followed by squash at 3.36 kilograms and stringbeans at 2.40 kilograms.

For fruits, urban dwellers consumed bigger quantities of mango, pineapple and calamansi at 4.10 kilograms, 1.18 kilograms and 1.29 kilograms, respectively. In

39

contrast, households in rural barangays were heavy consumers of papaya at 2.29 kilograms, banana (except saba) at 12.16 kilograms and saba at 14.21 kilograms.

Greater amounts of most meat and poultry products were eaten by households in urban barangays. On the average, per capita consumption levels in these households were 11.32 kilograms of pork, 10.21 kilograms of chicken and 4.44 kilograms of chicken egg yearly.

In urban and rural barangays, roundscad (Galunggong) was eaten at about 5.61 to 5.88 kilograms person per year. More consumption of tuna (all species) was noted in rural barangays at 2.95 kilograms. In urban barangays, estimates of per capita consumption were higher; these ranged from 0.59 kilogram for mussel to 5.94 kilograms for tilapia.

Most noodles and bread were consumed in bigger amounts by urban dwellers. Instant noodles and “pandesal” were the leading commodity items with per capita consumption corresponding to 2.53 kilograms and 8.17 kilograms annually.
