Abstract
Disaggregated demand analysis is beginning to receive increased importance in food policies for developing countries. Using household data from the Mexican expenditure survey we estimate the income and demographic effects on expenditures for nine aggregate food categories. In addition we use a Probit model to explore the effect of these variables on the purchase decision for five high protein supplying goods. The results indicate that demographic variables, as well as income, have important effects in determining food expenditures. We analyse these effects and indicate the role they might play in food policy programmes such as Pronal.
