RESEARCH ON THE IMPACT AND MECHANISM OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME GROWTH ON DAIRY PRODUCTS CONSUMPTION
Optimizing the consumption structure of dairy products and promoting the diversified development of consumption patterns can improve the consumption level of dairy products in multiple ways,accelerate the transformation and upgrading of dairy products consumption,and contribute to residents'nutrition and health while maintaining the stable growth of total consumption.This research analyzed the impact of income growth on dairy consumption of Chinese residents by using panel data of the China Health and Nutrition Survey from 2009 to 2018,and focused on discussing the factor differences between urban and rural areas.The results were listed as follows.(1)Income growth significantly increased the consumption of dairy products of urban and rural residents,and the conclusion was still robust after using Ⅳ-Hekit model to overcome the endogeneity problem.(2)Income growth increased dairy consumption by enriching dairy consumption types to accelerate the upgrading of dairy consumption structure,and increasing the frequency of dairy consumption to form structured diet.(3)Compared with rural residents,the positive effect of urban residents'income growth on dairy consumption was more obvious,and the effect of urban residents'income growth on dairy consumption types and frequency was about twice that of rural residents.In summary,to increase the dairy consumption of urban and rural residents,it is necessary to guide the residents to form a diversified and healthy diet,drive the nutrition,high-value processing of dairy products,and promote the development of local characteristic dairy industry,and strengthen dairy products consumption guidance and distribution system construction,in addition,organize and implement the nutrition improvement plan for low-income people and vulnerable groups to ensure the basic food supply and nutrition improvement.
