šŗš» Press review / the inevitable change in the Iranian food pattern
The economic world wrote:
š¹ An analysis of household expenditure statistics shows that the consumption of food products that have increased in price faced a sharp decline. Meat consumption per capita in Iran increased from about 35 kg in 2013 to about 25 kg in 2013.
At the same time, red meat consumption per capita decreased from about 14 kg in the mid-1980s to about 5 kg in recent years.
On the other hand, to compensate for this decrease, the households maintained a consumption of chicken meat in the range of about 20 kilograms per person, and the share of chicken in the meat consumption basket increased from about 30% in the 1360s to almost 60% in recent years.
This replacement process is also observed in many countries in the world; But his power was greater in Iran.
Therefore, the decrease in red meat consumption cannot be considered a change in taste, and the decrease in real household income and the increase in food prices played an important role in this change.
