Consumption patterns

This experiment is ge ard towards analyzing an article that was done on the year 2001 concerning the increasing Consumer essential for Fruits and Vegetables The U.S. Example. The manipulation pattern hence could be seen to have incrementd everyw here the years. It was in the article that several factors where enumerated with regards to the increasing demand for both fruits and vegetables among the citizen in the join States of America. It was thus concluded that the demand could be seen as a pattern where some other developing countries could have the same patterns in the desire run. As could be implied in the articles title, the author aims to founder a certain justification that given time, several countries would have an increment in the demand for fruits and vegetables.Consumer Demand for Fruits and Vegetables The U.S. Example It could be ga on that pointd that this event article is directed towards the behavioral pattern of the tidy sum in the united States. Ergo, it could be deduced that most of the data gathered is much dedicated in the statistical aspect where the demand for fruits and vegetables had increased. It was state that the pulmonary tuberculosis of both fruits and vegetables had already been a part of the usual food expending on the race of the country especi onlyy when it espouses a healthy lifestyle (Kurtzweil, 1997).It could be seen then that, over the years, food use patterned has increased especially when incomes had increased. It could be sensed here that as income increases, the buying of goods alike increases, including that of fruits and vegetables deviation from the other necessities. To further reinforce this assertion, it was studied that over the course of year 1961 and 1998, there had been a considerable increase in the consumption of fruits and vegetable on places where income had surely increased. However, those who had lower incomes had little or no difference when it comes to the consumption of the give tongue to goods.It would then be heir apparent that as the incomes of the people increased there is an extensive increase in buying goods. assist to say that this first agent would have given a reason for the increase in the consumption rates of the people. In connection to this, the briny argument for this could be seen as such that most people were caravan towards the convenience of a product.Canned and processed fruits and vegetables then are getting popular. It would then be inferred that the supplies demand would increase since manufacturing these goods could take larger number of fruits or vegetable. Albeit, fresh fruits are still popular and they are aptly so since they are much convenient. Connecting this to the second reason, it could be seen that technological aspects had made the difference since wadding and delivering goods could be made easy.However, this assertion could be further assert by the third justification over the change in consumption pattern. In this a spect the concept of healthy living could be injected. It was said then that the people had a strong belief in tone ending back to the healthy living lifestyle (Pollack, 2001). It seems that the household with older members in the family tend to purchase more fruits and vegetables. Age then departs another outsized factor.The fourth assertion could be found that the availability of the goods has already increased. This increase in the availability could have been due to the imports from other countries. It could be seen here then that a wide selection of products had been made available to American citizens that even if the fruits or vegetables are not produced for the season in the occurrence country, it could still be made available through importing and avocation (Pollack, 2001).As was mentioned above, improved technological aspect has paved the representation for easier shipping and packing that some seasonal fruits could be made available in the United States. The trade b usiness has besides increased during this time that some products that are not actually available in the country had made its way to American soil due to trade and imports. It seems that tropical produce had become popular among the people. Americans may be able to produce these tropical goods on some areas of the land but the demand for it is high that supplies are needed hence trade and imports are needed.All these patterns if conjoined together could create a change in the demand for the said goods fruits and vegetables. On the year 1997-99, it was said that the trend consumption of fruits and vegetables in the United States had been averaged as 741 pounds per person. It could be seen as 25 percent more than what was consumed during the year 1977-79. The increase was much pore on the fresh melon and processed potatoes. Either way, vegetables had been a ancestor when it comes to peoples favorites as compared to fruits in general. In fact, vegetable consumption has increased to 24 percent as compared to the 8 percent consumption rate of fruits.After the mid-seventies, it could be argued that lesser people had become enamored with preserve goods and are much inclined to purchasing fresher goods. It seems then that aside from the increase in percentage, a much wider variety of vegetables are at a time made available as some people are easy creating certain variations in their consumption purchases. Examples of these vegetable diets are asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, onions, and lettuces, and many others. Of all the fruits, banana had become the most popular fresh fruit treat. However, this exceptional fruit is garnered through imports. Other examples of fruits that are popular are apples and oranges, also grapes, pears, and strawberries. Regardless of the increase in consumption rates, it would still not adapted to claim that Americans are consuming the recommended daily servings for both fruits and vegetables.It could then be concluded tha t the demand for fruits and vegetables in the U.S has increased through several reasons 1. widget might lead to larger demand for supplies, 2. Technological aspects makes it more convenient, 3. health issues are being addressed, and 4. Availability of goods through imports and trade is rapidly growing. Also, these patterns could also be realized in other developing countries.References Kurtzweil, P. (1997). Fruits and Vegetables Eating Your style to 5 A Day.
