These are two of the data provided by a survey conducted by FACUA-Consumers in Action to nearly 5,000 people during this month of December (see tables with all the results here [in Spanish only]).
The rise in food prices has caused 25.2% of families to reduce their purchases of fresh vegetables, 29.0% of fresh fruit, 23.3% of dairy products. Fish consumption was reduced by 50.9%. As for meat, 28.5% have reduced their consumption of chicken, 37.4% of pork and 55.5% of beef.
