In addition to the trend of the last decade of eating less and less, the inflation of recent months has also been added. From 2022 to 2023, each person consumed 18 kg less in the BAC.
The amount of food we consume at home is getting less and less. According to the analysis of EITB data.
In 2012in the cavconsumed every inhabitant 669kg at home, according to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. In 2022consumes each person 587kg food. These data are very similar to those of Spain: 663kg in 2012 And 577kg in 2022. In the BAC 82 kg less in ten years and in Spain 86 kg.
In Navarre, the drop is less. In 2012every spent Navarro 623kgand in 2022, 603kg. 20 kg less in a period of ten years.
The decline has not stopped. The annual consumption in the BAG has decreased by 9 kg per person (10 kg in Spain). In Navarre, the decrease is less pronounced, with 2 kg less consumption per year.
This decrease is related to the change of habits. While domestic consumption has declined, out-of-home consumption has increased. We also spend less time cooking every day.
In addition, the fact that families are smaller, with fewer young people and more elderly people, has an impact on consumption figures.
From 2022, the decline will be stronger
In the past year, the effect of inflation has also been added. Families, already involved in the trend to reduce food consumption, have had to deal with the increase in the price of the shopping basket.
In the BAC, individual consumption fell by 18 kg between 2022 and 2023. In Spain, this decrease is 37 kg. Expenditure has increased: 204 euros more in the CAV and 163 euros more in Spain.
