Abstract
This study investigated the consumption expenditure on animal protein with more
emphasis on beef and fish in Kaduna metropolis with a view of describing the socioeconomic
of beef and fish consuming households, estimating quantity of beef and fish
demand by households, estimating share in household expenditure of beef and fish,
ascertain determinant of beef and fish demand and to determine price and expenditure
elasticity of beef and fish in the study area. The sample size was randomly selected and
data collected from 241 respondents in the study area. The data collected were analysed
using descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequency distribution and
percentages; budget share index, Linear Approximate Almost Ideal demand systems
(LA-AIDS) model and the own price, cross price and expenditure elasticity equations
derived from the LA-AIDS model. The study revealed education level, household size
and household income have influence on beef and fish consume by the households, the
mean quantity of beef and fish demanded by households is 3.37kg and 4.59kg
respectively while the mean price per kilogram for beef and fish is N914.94 and
N578.22 respectively. Percentage share in beef and fish was 0.076% and 0.060%
respectively. The estimate of factors affecting beef and fish consumption of the
households gave a R2-valaue of 0.57 and 0.45 respectively. The result indicates that
prices of beef and fish were significant (P<0.01) and had influence on household
expenditure on the product i.e. as the prices of the beef and fish increases, the
household increases budget share on it making them to spend more to get more. The
study further reveal that the own price elasticity of beef and fish were negative. The
cross price elasticity of beef and fish with respect to other animal protein source in the
system shows there exist substitution effect between all the products. Expenditure
elasticity of beef and fish were less than one. Constraint faced by households in the
consumption of beef and fish include high prices, low level of income, rapid spoilage
and low supply. It was therefore be concluded that that beef and fish consumption can
be increased when the prices are set in line with different household income levels and
when the purchasing power of the household is improve.
