This study uses the 1987-88 U.S. Department of Agriculture Nationwide Food Consumption
Survey data to analyze the impacts of income, prices, and selected socioeconomic
characteristics on household consumption of fresh fruits. Results suggest that fresh
fruits are considered economic necessities, with own prices significantly influencing
consumption.
Cross-price effects are generally weak and insignificant, but the number of
adults in the age group 18-64 is an important determinant of household consumption
of
fresh fruits. While nutrition information and household savings have significant,
positive
influences on most fresh fruit consumption, the presence of a working wife has a
significant
and negative influence.
