In this study we shall examine the influence of the majordeterminants of food consumption, viz., level of per capita income,price structure, differences in preferences and availability ofcommodities. We shall analyse the con¬sumption pattern as revealed byconsumer survey as well as food balance-sheet to point out anyinconsistency between consumption as reported by consumers andavailability of food as shown by food balance-sheet.
