Abstract

PurposeThis paper analyzes the consumption of fruits and vegetables (FV) in Senegal by: (1) urban and rural areas; (2) FV types (African-indigenous vs non-indigenous); (3) sources of FV (imports, purchases and own-production).Design/methodology/approachThe authors undertake descriptive and regression analyses on consumption of FV sourced from purchases, own-production and gifts. The data come from primary surveys in 2017/2018 of 6,328 rural and urban households in Senegal.FindingsThe analysis showed that FV are important in urban and rural food consumption. A stunning 76% of rural FV consumption is from purchases, showing the importance of FV supply chains even into and among rural areas. Only 12% of national FV consumption is from imports. Most FV consumption in rural and urban areas is now of non-indigenous FV; African-indigenous FV have a minor share.Research limitations/implicationsA limitation of this paper is that it uses a cross-sectional dataset.Originality/valueThere are few national survey-based studies of FV consumption in Africa. This is the first to disaggregate FV consumption between primary versus secondary cities and rural towns, and rural areas close to and far from cities, in such detail regarding types and sources of FV as outlined in the findings. The regressions contribute by including determinants beyond income, including gender, employment, spatiality and education.

按种类和来源分列的塞内加尔城乡水果和蔬菜消费量
本文分析了塞内加尔水果和蔬菜(FV)的消费:(1)城市和农村地区;(2) FV类型(非洲本土vs非本土);(三)燃料来源(进口、采购和自产)。设计/方法/方法作者对来自购买、自产和礼品的FV消费进行了描述性和回归分析。这些数据来自2017/2018年对塞内加尔6328个农村和城市家庭的初步调查。研究结果分析表明,食品添加剂在城市和农村食品消费中都很重要。令人震惊的是,76%的农村燃料汽车消费来自购买,这表明燃料汽车供应链甚至进入农村地区和在农村地区之间的重要性。只有12%的国家燃料汽车消费来自进口。现在,农村和城市地区的大部分粮食消费是非土著粮食消费;非洲本土的FV只占很小的份额。研究限制/启示本文的一个限制是它使用了一个横截面数据集。原创性/价值非洲很少有基于国家调查的汽车消费研究。这是第一次对主要城市、次要城市和农村城镇以及靠近和远离城市的农村地区的FV消费进行分类,详细介绍了调查结果中概述的FV类型和来源。回归包括了收入以外的决定因素,包括性别、就业、空间和教育。
