Product differentiation and demand for animal-source foods in Côte d'Ivoire

Wane A., Rich K.M., Bamba Y., N'Goran A.A.J., Fall A.. 2021. Nairobi : ILRI, 13 p.. (ILRI research report, 85).

This report presents a demand analysis of primary data collected on 562 households in Abidjan. Findings show that Ivorian consumers purchase more from traditional retailers where source-differentiated foods are sold in simple or primary forms. There is however an emergence of local and international retail brands (modern butcheries, supermarkets) trading in more specialized or processed food products. Consumers are generally sensitive to expenditure variation in their demand for chicken and fish. The expenditure elasticities of chicken and fish were found to be significant and positive. The elasticity of fish was estimated greater than one, indicating fish as a superior good in the households surveyed. The expenditure elasticity of beef was not significant.
