Highlights of the results from the most recent National Household Income and Expenditure Survey (ENIGH) are presented for food items.
- When the survey was done two years ago, families preferred fruits and vegetables over animal proteins, however in the latest survey conducted in 2022, there was an inverse behavior, which could be attributed to a lower inflationary impact.
- The share of household spending on animal protein rose to 39.1% and its value increased by 30.2%.
