This paper aims to analyze consumption patterns of various household goods. The data used in this study was sourced from results of household surveys in the East Java and Bali Provinces in Indonesia. The analytical model used to evaluate household consumption patterns was the Engel function. Engel's function model maps the level of consumption to household income. In this study, the explanatory variables used include household expenditure levels, household characteristics and household poverty conditions. The results showed that the consumption of staple foodstuffs was relatively inelastic in terms of an increasing household expenditure. Moreover, the consumption of processed food is relatively more elastic in terms of expenditure. The study also found that poor households have a different consumption pattern in comparison to nonpoor households. Poor households allocate less income to basic necessities that are important for health, such as vegetables, meat and fish. The implication is that government assistance for poor households must be accompanied by education on healthy consumption patterns. Contribution/ Originality: This study is one of the few studies examining household consumption patterns and their relationship with household welfare and poverty indicators in developing countries. This research is a preliminary study that uses poverty rates of poor households based on indicators of government assistance in the form of financial aid.

Tobacco is one of Indonesia's unique agricultural commodities. During the slowdown global market for tobacco products, Indonesia still has a relatively important position. This considerable potential is relatively difficult to maintain because both internally and externally, the commodity of tobacco which is the main ingredient of cigarettes, faces very fierce obstacles. This study aims to analyze the competitiveness of tobacco commodities in Indonesia during the period 1970-2016. The competitiveness indicator used is the trade balance index. The method used is quantitative descriptive and regression methods to evaluate the association between competitiveness indicators and their main determinants: production. The results showed that at the beginning of the period of development, tobacco products had good competitiveness. However, entering the 1990s the position of the tobacco trade was reversed. On the other hand, demand for tobacco consumption and the prevalence of smoking in Indonesia are always increasing. As a result, the tendency to weaken competitiveness shown by import penetration will continue. The implication is that the government must stem tobacco imports to achieve two goals at once: improve the tobacco trade balance and hold the smoking prevalence rate that tends to increase.
