Interviewer instructions
Consumption include food goods in volume terms purchased or received in any other ways and consumed during the month.
Food consumption is estimated last by the following formulae:
Food consumption = (Stock at the beginning of the month) + (Purchase) + (Own output) + (Received from others free of charge) - (Sold) - (Given to others free of charge) - (Stock at the end of the month)
For the purpose of easiness minus and plus signs are provided before the cells. A calculator can be used for calculation.
In our example, we have monthly meat consumption equal 16 kg /6+15+18+5-10-10-8=16/.
As the closing stock for the previous month implies the current stock for the next month the closing stock for the previous month is copied by enumerator to the next month's questionnaire as current stock.
