Abstract

The chapter covers both the evolution of yearly average consumption, for the main food products and beverage, and the evolution of daily average food consumption expressed in calories and nutrients, per inhabitant. Also are presented and analyzed the evolutions of total expenditure of households, on main categories of households (employees, farmers, unemployed, pensioners), and grouped by number of component persons, in Romania compared to similar data from the EU28. Are highlighted the trends of percents of total consumption expenditure of households for ago-food products, non - alcoholic drinks and for beverages and tobacco, and the structure of total expenditure of households, by deciles. Starting from these are also analyzed correlations with total income of households, by main categories and by number of component persons. The analysis covers a period of 10 years and covers the years before the economic crisis, its impact and the characteristics of the post crisis on food and beverage consumption structure by main categories of households.
