| Summary: | Food Economy : Analysis of Food Consumption Pattern of the Rural Area of Cameroon. An outlook of the major steps of the Cameroon food consumption history reflecting the history of the food consumption in general is presented within the framework of food industry economy. On the basis of the agro-ecological zones of Cameroon, major staple food products and respective consumption pattern are analyzed. From this study it appears that nation wide there are areas where acute food deficiency occurs in spite of the presence or absence of the relative diversity in food production. Research on ways and means to improve these food consumption patterns, is matter of necessity and should have as basis food consumption characteristics and the culture of the different local populations. |
