Abstract
the research aims to prove the economic hypothesis that is provided by the economic theory by determining the positive relationship between the consumed quantities of vegetables and the average consumer income and the inverse relation between the quantity consumed and commodity prices. The most important results of the study: - The high level of demand for vegetables in rural area from urban according to the size of the family, Where the average annual individual expenditure on vegetables out of total expenditure on food and drink reached 7.4%, 6.8% in 2010/2011, 2015 in rural areas respectively, And about 6.5%, 5.4% in urban areas during the same two years. - The Lorenz curve of the distribution of consumer spending on vegetables for urban and urban rural areas in Egypt indicates that urban consumption is more equitable in rural consumption because it is closer to the equality line. When we explain which categories are more fair, 50% of the higher income groups in urban areas are characterized by a fair distribution of consumption of vegetables, while 30% of the rural population of the lowest income groups are characterized by a fair distribution of consumption of vegetables.ECOMMENDATIONS - Not to fully raise government support and channel support to the poorest. - Improving the standard of living of consumers as the government completes the process of economic reform to avoid the occurrence of crises that may arise as a result of increasing inflation. - Conducting more sluotion about family budget research to monitor and evaluate changes in consumption patterns and living standards of different social strata in different regions and at different time periods. - On the other side to provide annual data for consumer spending to conduct studies and research on consumption patterns to help the decision-maker better.
