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 365 days and dividing by the Estimated Resident Population (ERP). No adjustments have been made to the ERP for food and non-alcoholic beverages that are typically consumed by selected age groups, for example 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.
