Article Synopsis
- Poultry consumption in India is growing due to higher incomes, population growth, urbanization, and increased productivity, but surveys show average consumption remains low.
- The study analyzed household factors affecting chicken and egg consumption using National Sample Survey data from 1993-2012, applying advanced statistical models to understand consumption patterns.
- Findings indicate that while overall consumption has increased slightly, factors like price and production concentration significantly impact consumption, with historically marginalized groups consuming more poultry, highlighting the need for targeted nutritional improvements.
Context: The emergence and rapid spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has posed an unprecedented threat to both societies and economies. The dairy sector is an example of the challenges that food supply chains have faced due to the pandemic.
Objective: This study aims to provide primary evidence of the immediate effects of COVID-19 on the global dairy sector, particularly focusing on the outcome of the implemented response mechanisms, and the potential medium and long-term implications of the pandemic on the sector.
