Consumption Pattern of Food and Non-Food Items in South Saurashtra

Consumption is an integral part of our life. It is present from the beginning to the end everywhere we go.Consumption itself is not a menace for our world but its patterns and effects.The analysis of consumption pattern is a pre-requisite of a planned economy so as to enable the planners to have a precise knowledge of the future demand of different commodities and to match supply with changing pattern of demand. However, several interaction factors like household size, composition, occupation, level of income, price, habit, social customs, resource endowment and other socio-economic parameters influence the consumption pattern of the commodity. Therefore, it is logical to expect wide variation in consumer behaviour in different parts of the country.
