Abstract
This paper presents the analytical model of per capita food consumption as the main determinant component of the measurement of food poverty level (extreme poverty). The model study the relation of per capita consumption depending on a set of explanatory variables that are thought to have a statistically significant impact and are defined as influential factors in extreme poverty. Albanian households spend a considered amount on food products. More than 50 % of the total consumption goes to buy food products. This percentage in 2012, is decreased compared 2002 and have almost one point percent difference compared with 2005 and 2008. Computation: SPSS, STATA DOI: 10.5901/ajis.2016.v5n3s1p245

An individual is considered poor if its level of per capita expenditure falls below the minimum level needed to meet basic needs for food and non food items of this individual
As the gender of head, the variable stratum2 we have excluded from the regression as it is not significant in statistically way at 5% level. 3.1 Regression Albanian trend of food consumption In the table 1 we present analytically the theoretical concept of the connectivity of food consumption with the total consumption
Summary
An individual is considered poor if its level of per capita expenditure falls below the minimum level needed to meet basic needs for food and non food items of this individual. INSTAT 2014, explain the methodology which first calculates a food poverty line, estimated through minimum of calories and after added a value for non food components for basic necessities. Food costs are the main determinant component of extreme poverty. Extreme Poverty: The food poverty line is the level of per capita expenditure per month, necessary for an individual to take the minimum amount of 2288 calories per day. The food poverty line or extreme poverty line was set at 3,047 ALL per month. Engel curves were widely examined by using different econometric methods for different groups of goods
