The development of food consumption reflected the socio-economic factors, particularly changes of effective demand and in life priorities and attitudes. The result of these changes in consumption led to lower consumption of animal foods and increase consumption of foods of plant origin. Food consumption expressed in constant prices increased by 4.0%, while reducing the consumption of animal products by 7.2% and increase the consumption of plant products by 20.2%. The highest reduction in consumption occurred in beef, lard, drinking milk, eggs and bread, while an increase in consumption, particularly in soft drinks, poultry, cheeses, tropical fruits, pulses and wheat bread. This trend in consumption is not detrimental either in terms of nutritional requirements.
