Consumption studies generally are made on the so-called "disappearance" method, where by average consumption data are derived from statistics of production, imports, exports, and stocks on hand at the beginning and end of the period of time in question. In this study, actual consumption data were obtained from families representative of various population groups and put together with suitable weighting to give average figures for the country as a whole.
