ArmInfo. ArmInfo-STAR dining-table index for 50 the most popular food
products in STAR net of supermarkets amounted to 141,50 in April 2010
as against the basic index in February 2009. If compared with March
the index grew by 25,83 points, i.e. more than in March of compared
with February. The number of customers grew by 7,4% as against April
2009. The average sum of purchase fell by 5,5%.
The average using of bread reduced by about 16% if compared with
April 2009. As for the three main types of bread (360 gr matnakash,
lavash and loaf of bread) their using is gradually falling over the
last three months. Growing of the bread prices since March is much
conditioned by raising of the gas tariffs since 1 April. This year
there was no growing of the dairy products' prices which in 2009
coincided with reduction of the Armenian dram exchange rate. In
general, dairy products' prices remained unchanged and in March 2010
even reduced by 6-7% if compared with February. Consumption of the
dairy products grew after the March falling of their prices (from 6%
up to 50% depending on the type of product).
Consumption of beef has grown since the beginning of the year although
its price grew by 20% in February- April. Consumption of fresh
chicken grew in April almost twofold as against March. As for the
'Lori' cheese, its consumption grew by about 60% from March to April.
Consumption of vegetables and greenery (estragon, cabbages, tomatoes,
and cucumbers) remains quite strongly depending on the price. As
compared with April 2009, estragon in STAR network is sold almost
twice as cheaper; respectively its consumption has grown by 20%.
Consumption of cabbages fell twice, the price growth being
approximately 2.5 times. As regards tomatoes, their 30% drop in price
to 1 thsd AMD has increased its consumption by over 90%. Cucumbers
have also grown in consumption (by 34%) though their price remains
the same - about 810 AMD.
The readers probably remember the leap in orange consumption in
February. At that time oranges fell in price only by 60-70 AMD (to
410 AMD), and consumption leaped thrice. The "triumph" of oranges was
not long: by April their price grew to 700 AMD, and consumption fell
even lower than in February. A similar leap was registered for bananas.
With another growth in prices the consumption of bananas also was
reduced (but not in such volumes as oranges).
The meat consumption trend allows supposing that gradual growth in
population revenues gives birth first of all to demand for meat. As
regards fruits and vegetables, (for instance, cabbages), their
consumption continues more or less depending on the price.
