Document Summary

Parts of the food industry: note: these four divisions are artificial and they actually overlap one another, production- includes such industries as farming, ranching, orchard management, fishing and aquaculture. Technologies involved in production of the raw materials include the selection of plant and animal varieties, cultivation, growth, harvest, slaughter, and the storage and handling of the raw materials: manufacturing/processing- converts raw agricultural products to more refined/finished products. This compares with 10% for canada and 11% for the united kingdom. In less developed countries, at-home food expenditures account for more than 50% of a household budget. In relation to total per capita personal consumption expenditures, americans spend the lowest % on food. Factors other than income alone influence food expenditures in developed countries: an abundance of fertile land and a varied climate means that americans do not have to rely as heavily on imported foods.
