The percentages of women’s consumption reached in peaked of 32% in 2006, which is followed by the consumption of men and children, with 28% and 16% respectively.
In 2010, the proportions of fruit and vegetables consumed was estimated to decline in all three groups. The figure for the women’s group was greater than the corresponding figure for the men’s group. Meanwhile, the data for the children’s category was ranked the third, with 14%.
