Almost 40% of Brazilians miss some type of food at home and 90% noticed the worsening of hunger in Brazil, according to data from the Brazilian Institute of Research and Data Analysis (IBPAD), in a survey carried out by Kellanova – former Kellogg.
The research shows that food donation is the most common solidarity action among Brazilians: approximately 50% carry out this type of social attitude and 64% of the population knows someone who needed to receive donations of basic food baskets in the last year.
One in five Brazilians makes more than one food donation per week, with two thirds of that proportion contributing at least once a month.
The study reveals that the vast majority of the Brazilian population (85.7%) participates in some form of solidarity action, although the majority maintains a frequency of donations that occur a few or a few times a year. Food tops the list of donated items, followed by clothes and coats.
The region that donates the most food is the North, with 99% of those interviewed who make donations preferring food delivery. In the North, it was also where more Brazilians said they missed some food at home, with 45% of the sample.
This region is also the one with the highest incidence of the “price” argument as a deterrent to consuming certain foods, with 77% of the population, followed by the Southeast and Northeast, with 74% and 73%, respectively.
Furthermore, the survey indicates that 73% of respondents have already had to give up consuming certain foods due to high prices and 65.85% of respondents expressed the desire to consume a specific food more frequently.
On the other hand, 38.45% of people interviewed reported missing some type of food at home. This highlights the continued need for solidarity actions and public policies that guarantee access to food for all Brazilians.
The Central-West is the region of Brazil that spends the most on supermarkets, butchers and markets and is the most supportive region.
Two out of every 10 Brazilians spend monthly on the market from R$500.01 to R$800.00. Three out of every 10 Brazilians spend up to R$200.00 on delivery each month.
