Abstract

The foodways of the urban poor are unique and knowledge about it is needed to direct food production, marketing activities and government decisions. Consumers in these communities have very specific product and quality preferences that are explicitly motivated. Their environment gives rise to a purchasing behaviour that is well catered for by informal traders. A few salient results of a study on the fruit and vegetable consumption behaviour of communities on the Cape Flats are presented.

Die voedselverbruiksgedrag van lae inkomste stedelike gemeenskappe is uniek en kennis daarvan is nodig om voedselproduksie, bemarkingsaktiwiteite en owerheidsbesluitneming te help rig. Verbruikers in hierdie gemeenskappe het spesifieke produk- en kwaliteitsvoorkeure wat duidelik gemotiveerd is. Hul omstandighede het 'n aankoopgedrag tot gevolg wat goed deur informele handelaars hanteer word. Enkele uitstaande resultate van 'n studie van die vrugte- en groenteverbruiksgedrag van gemeenskappe op die Kaapse Vlakte word aangebied.
