Abstract: AVILLA, LEILANI ILAGAN, Consumption Pattern for Meat in Selected Towns of Cavite, B.S. Thesis, Bachelor of Science in Business Management major in Economics, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 1998. Adviser: Dr. Marietta C. Mojica. The study was conducted to determine the socio-economic characteristics of households; describe the household consumption pattern for meat; find out the relationship between the household consumption and some selected variables; and determine the income elasticity of meat consumption. Five towns of Cavite including General Aguinaldo, Imus, Magallanes, Rosario and Trece Martires City were selected as the study areas using the fish-bowl technique. This study had a total of 100 respondents. The households had an average of four members and with more female members. The average household income was P 12,185.00 per month with an average per capita income of P3,069.00. Most of the households considered employment as source of income. Out of 100 households, 97 percent purchased both pork and chicken while 96 percent purchased beef. Further, 90 percent of households purchased the combination of the three kinds of meat. Frequency of purchase varied monthly. Majority of the households purchased pork and chicken 6 to 7 times in January and December. While for beef, the largest percentage of the households bought 4 to5 times all throughout the year. The highest average meat consumption was observed during the months of January and December while the lowest was during the months of March and April. The household size was found to have significant effect on pork consumption while household income was found to have significant effect on chicken and beef consumption. It was revealed that for every one unit increase in the household size, there will be a corresponding 0.1924 kg in the consumption of pork . Furthermore, for every P1.00 increase in income, the consumption for chicken and beef will increase by 0.0001 and 0.00006 kg, respectively. Consumption for pork, chicken and beef is said to be income inelastic. This implies that as income increases, only a small proportion of this increase goes to additional consumption of these three kinds of meat.
