“…Moreover, we rule out the notion that meat acts as a substitute for seafood in this study. This is supported by Ito et al [14], who demonstrated, through their analysis conducted in 2020, that meat did not substitute for seafood. Table 2 shows that the percentage of people who did not buy seafood during the COVID-19 era was much higher for high-end seafood compared to popular seafood.…”

“…They anticipate that this rise in EC sales may be linked to a decreased expenditure for dining out. Ito et al [14] examined food demand in the Tokyo metropolitan area between 2019 and 2020 using home scan data. They observed that the rise in expenditure on food consumption in 2020 was predominantly associated with home consumption, whereas spending on dining out decreased significantly.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic, with increased home cooking and decreased restaurant dining, significantly altered seafood consumption patterns. By applying an ordered logit model to identify factors affecting seafood consumption during the pandemic, this study found that the shift in seafood consumption was driven by factors such as changes in meal preparation methods, more time spent at home, and shifts in financial situations. While take-out consumption boosted overall seafood intake, popular varieties saw a rise in home consumption, while high-end seafood suffered from decreased demand as consumers focused more on home dining. This study underscores the importance of supporting suppliers, restaurants, and retailers dealing with high-end seafood, as they face economic challenges due to reduced consumption. In summary, pandemic-induced restrictions on mobility led to a notable transition from restaurant-prepared seafood to home-cooked options, highlighting the need for targeted policies to aid affected sectors.

“…Vargas-Lopez et al (2022) analyze expenditure and price elasticities of food waste in Mexico. Ito et al (2022) use the AIDS to examine expenditure and price elasticities of food in Japan. However, both of them just compare the separate estimation results before and after the COVID-19 without statistical tests of changes in elasticities.…”

This paper examines food demand before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 and studies the effects of the situation on households’ demand for food in rural Indonesia, in the case of Bengkulu Province. The research data is taken from the Indonesia Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) as a microdata set which is collected annually by Indonesia Central Statistics Agency (BPS) from 2017 to 2021. The effect of COVID-19 on food demand estimates using the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS). The results demonstrate that prepared food expenditure is the largest portion of household expenditure on food in the Bengkulu rural area. Before the outbreak of COVID-19, animal source food is the most sensitive to food expenditure, but after the outbreak, prepared food is the most sensitive. Staple food is the most expenditure-inelastic before and after the outbreak. Expenditure for animal source food, vegetables & fruits, and prepared food have significant differences between before and after the outbreak. All the food groups substitute for each other before the outbreak, whereas staple food and prepared food cannot be regarded as a substitute for each other after the outbreak. There are eleven of the compensated price elasticities whose differences between before and after the outbreak are significant, whereas as a set the compensated price elasticities are significantly different between before and after the outbreak. Other food is the easiest to be substituted for both phases. Prepared food is the most difficult to be substituted before the outbreak, but the staple food is the most difficult to be substituted after the outbreak. After the outbreak of COVID-19, the demand for vegetables & fruits increases, but the demand for staple food and prepared food decreases, ceteris paribus. Family size, children, gender, age, and other demographics variables have an impact on household food demand. These findings imply that after the outbreak, the supply of vegetables & fruits should be increased and that government support for suppliers of staple food and prepared food will be preferable.
