Data represents the apparent consumption of food based on the amount of food purchased from sales data. Actual consumption is not measured as the data does not account for food purchases from fast food outlets, cafes and restaurants, or foods not consumed due to waste or storage.
Daily per capita estimates are derived by dividing the annual total by the number of days in the reference year and dividing by the Estimated Resident Population (ERP). Data representing each financial year uses the ERP for December. For example, the 2020-21 estimates use ERP for December 2020. No adjustments have been made to the ERP for foods and non-alcoholic beverages that are typically consumed by selected age groups only, such as baby food
Australia's financial year runs from July 1 to June 30; for example, financial year 2017 starts on July 1, 2016 and ends on June 30, 2017.
