| description | The milkfish (chanos chanos) is a popular food fish in
Indonesia, particularly in Java. Milkfish are cultured in
brackish water pond, and its culture has been practised for
several hundred years. Most of the production is marketed fresh,
while the rest are marketed as processed milkfish such as pindang milkfish and presto milkfish.
This study aims to examine the consumption patterns and
factors that influence the demand for milkfish in Central Java.
Milkfish is classified into three types, namely, fresh milkfish,
pindang milkfish and presto milkfish. The socio-econanic characteristics of the consume their
attitudes and practices and their relative desirability and
preferences for milkfish are examined in the study.
Results of analysis show that most households consumer fresh
milkfish, followed by pindang milkfish and presto milkfish. The
fish are usually bought at public markets. On average, consumers
buy fresh milkfish four times a month, pindang milkfish about
three times a month and presto milkfish once a month.
Average quantity bought at each purchase is about 0.6 kilogram.
Demand for milkfish is influenced by its own price, price of
substitutes, income and size of household. Own price elasticity
of demand for milkfish is very high for all type of milkfish. The
income elasticity however is less than one but greater than zero. |
