During the PERIOD SPECIFIED, did you or any member of your family consume cereals and cereal preparation?
Literal question
On the average, how much is your weekly consumption of the following?
Interviewer instructions
Read out the screening question under this subsection to the respondent. Encircle the appropriate code that corresponds to the response. Fill up that portion of the questionnaire, which refers to the reference period.
Item 1. Rice - Ask the respondent an estimate of the family's consumption of rice on an average/normal week. Inquire as to the specific class of rice consumed and enter the quantity in kg. in the appropriate column. Then inquire as to the total value of the rice consumed. Enter this value under the column for “Total”. Inquire further if the rice consumed was purchased either in cash or on credit. If so, enter in the In cash/On credit column the same amount as what has been entered in the “Total Column”. However, if the rice consumed was taken from their farm or received as a gift, enter the value under the “In Kind” column. Enter “0” in the column where there is no` entry, in this case, under “In Cash” column. A dash does not mean zero.
It is also possible that the rice consumed is from both sources, that is, from both in cash/credit and in kind. Ascertain the proportion obtained from each source and allocate correspondingly the total value consumed.
Take note that the values to be entered under the “Value Consumed” columns are up to the last centavo so that if the total value of rice consumed is P65.38, the 38 centavos must be entered after the dot, which is enclosed in a box. However, since no box was provided for in the “In Kind” column, write the entire amount in the line, including the centavos.
In order to assess the response of the respondent on the quantity of rice consumed, refer to the membership of the family in Part 1 to find out about the family size. A family of 5 may consume from 10 to 18 kgs. of rice a week or about 2 to 4 kgs. per person per week depending upon the age, sex and occupation of the members. Try to validate the quantity of rice given by the respondent whether it is within acceptable limits. If the consumption is very much below the given range, inquire further what other cereals are consumed by the family. On the other hand, if the consumption is abnormally high, ask further probing questions. It may be possible that the family has many dogs, which consumed a sizable amount of rice. In this case, transfer the excess in consumption to D2 (Recreation).
Assess also the per unit value consumed. This can be done to all varieties of rice consumed. Special, 1st class rice which is a fancy variety may cost more than the ordinary variety like C-4, IR varieties, Macan, etc. NFA rice may also be of the same variety as those of ordinary, commercial but these are sold at a lower price.
Ascertain from the respondent the source of rice consumed by the family for the entire semester, whether purchased, taken from own-produce or received as gifts, to be able to separate the average value consumed in cash/on credit from the value consumed in kind.
In the survey the different varieties of rice are classified into four groups as follows:
Special - This refers to the well-milled commercial varieties of rice like the Wag-wag (1st class), Milagrosa, Sinandomeng, Dinorado, 7Tonner and other fancy varieties.
Ordinary - This consists of regular-milled commercial varieties like C-4, Intan, Macan, IR-8, etc.
NFA - This covers varieties marketed through the NFA, native variety, Thailand rice, China rice and other local and foreign varieties.
Other Kinds - Include all other varieties not covered by the preceding classes like brown rice, “malagkit” or glutinous rice (white, red, black or the maroon variety), upland varieties and other varieties not usually sold in the market.
However, during the interview process it may not be possible for the respondent to know how the rice was milled. Therefore, you can just classify the rice according to the variety except for NFA, which does not require further classification.
The instructions for the succeeding items on how quantity and values are entered in their respective columns are the same as those discussed above.
Item 2.Corn - This covers all varieties of green or yellow, young or matured corn used as cereals and cooked like “binatog”. Specific examples are corn on the cob, whole grains (shelled but not milled), the white milled type and corn grits. White milled corn and corn grits are used as staple food in some parts of the Visayas and Mindanao. Report under corn on the cob, young corn consumed as viand.
Report only the actual corn consumption. Report the quantity consumed in kilos. For corn on the cob, the quantity consumed may be reported by ears or by pieces. Record the consumption of corn flakes and other corn preparations purchased or received in kind in Item 8 (Other Cereal Preparations) of this section.
Item 3.Bread - This refers to the finished products consumed by the family. Bread baked in the households is not covered in this item but the flour used should be reported in Item 5 (Flour). Examples to be included in Item 3 are loaf (sliced), “pan de sal”, pies, doughnuts, cakes, monay, mamon, etc. which are purchased or received as gift by the family.
Item 4.Biscuits - This refers only to those consumed by the family as finished products. Biscuits and cookies baked at home do not fall under this category. However, the flour used in making any of these is to be reported in Item 5 (Flour). Take note that biscuits may either be bought in cans, packages or in pieces. Note that the quantity and the value to be reported here refer to the
average/normal consumption of the family per week. Hence, for a family that is in the habit of buying biscuits or cookies in large quantities, follow the estimation procedure outlined in Item 1 (rice) in getting an estimate of the week's consumption.
Item 5.Flour - This refers to the flour bought in raw form whether it is made from wheat, corn, cassava or rice.
Item 6.Native Cakes - Report here the actual consumption of native cakes, which were either purchased or received as gifts.
If the native cakes were prepared at home, report the expenses for the ingredients used under the corresponding groups.
Examples of native cakes, which can be purchased as finished products are “puto”, “bibingka”, “suman”, “biko”, “kalamay”, etc.
Item 7.Noodles/Pasta - This covers all kinds of vermicelli (“misua”, “bijon”, and “sotanghon”), “miki”, and spaghetti, macaroni, etc. bought in noodle form.
Item 8.Other Cereal Preparations - Record here the family's average weekly consumption of other cereals and other cereal preparations not covered by any of the preceding items above. Oatmeal (plain or flavored), corn starch, lumpia wrapper, ready-mixed cereals and noodles, instant soup which are cereal based like cream of corn soup, noodle soup, arroz caldo, corn flakes, popcorn, ampaw, and Gerber's foods like chippy, cheeses curls, etc., and roasted rice bought and drink as coffee are also included here.
Item 1. Rice - Ask the respondent an estimate of the family's consumption of rice on an average/normal week. Inquire as to the specific class of rice consumed and enter the quantity in kg. in the appropriate column. Then inquire as to the total value of the rice consumed. Enter this value under the column for “Total”. Inquire further if the rice consumed was purchased either in cash or on credit. If so, enter in the In cash/On credit column the same amount as what has been entered in the “Total Column”. However, if the rice consumed was taken from their farm or received as a gift, enter the value under the “In Kind” column. Enter “0” in the column where there is no` entry, in this case, under “In Cash” column. A dash does not mean zero.
It is also possible that the rice consumed is from both sources, that is, from both in cash/credit and in kind. Ascertain the proportion obtained from each source and allocate correspondingly the total value consumed.
