| Summary: | Animal-protein foods come from fish and livestock products. Compare to fish products,
consumption of livestock products such as meat, egg, and milk are increasing significantly.
Household expenditure survey data was used to analyze factor affecting consumption of
animal-protein among households. Binary-logit regression model analysis was used to
evaluate the influence of house hold`s socioeconomic factors regarding the animal-protein
foods consumption. The findings revealed that urban households spent 25,687.19 IDR and
52,778.63 IDR on protein weekly from fish products and livestock products, respectively;
while rural households spent 8.65% for fish products and 17.77 % on livestock products from
total food expenditure. Household socioeconomic factors such as household size, location,
participation and school and work status of household-head and other economic factors such
as income, level of household expenditure on food, and the price of some animal protein food
influenced on household decisions on animal protein food consumption. The value of
marginal effect from logistic regression analysis showed that socioeconomic factors of the
household tend to increase animal protein food from livestock products about varies between
0.5 to 6.09 times comparing to those of fish products. Consequently, potential increasing of
livestock products demand require availability of its foods by enhancing the meat, egg, and
milk products production. The policy of pricing is needed to bring down the protein foods
price to make it affordable for poor household. Educational programmes should be organized
for more knowledge about the importance of protein in their diet.
