Abstract

Every household tries to maximize utility in consuming goods and services with price and income levels as constraints. Household consumption expenditure comes from food and non-food items. Research conducted in Makassar City aims to determine the differences in farmers' household consumption expenditure on food, non-food, and food + non-food and estimate the factors that influence them. The research method used is descriptive and explanatory. They were based on the time dimension, using cross-section data from primary data with a sample of 327 respondents consisting of 165 farmers and 162 female farmers. The findings show that household food expenditure of farmers is smaller than non-food expenditure. The opposite result occurs in the household expenditure of farmers women. Household income, wife's formal education, household size, regional differences, and gender were influence changes in household consumption expenditure from food, non-food, and food + non-food. Increasing household income supported by balanced nutrition education will avoid food insecurity, increasing household expenditure.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Consumption expenditure from each household is related to maximizing utility in consuming goods and services with price and income levels as constraints (Carroll, 2001). The increase in women's contribution is positively related to calorie availability and food diversity at the household level (Sraboni et al, 2014), especially in urban areas. With the expenditure of staple food consumption in Ika (Ndubueze-Ogaraku et al, 2016), the availability of calories and the diversity of agricultural household food in Bangladesh (Sraboni et al, 2014), household food security among urban migrant farmers in Delhi, Jakarta, and Quito (Diehl et al, 2019), as well as food consumption expenditure on cassava plants in Southeast Sulawesi Province (Zani et al, 2019). Research on household expenditure with food and non-food consumption patterns on farmers and farmer womens has never been carried out
