Description
Marcos Anderson Lucas da Silva and co-authors described what Brazil's new staple food basket means for poor households in a 2025 study. A government ordinance redefined the official basket of basic foods. The team asked how much of what low-income families actually buy matches that basket.
They analyzed a national household budget survey covering 13,706 poor households from 2017 to 2018. Foods in the new basket made up 84 percent of all calories purchased. The share ran higher in rural areas and in the North and Northeast regions. Cereals led, followed by sugars and oils, then meats and eggs. The data ground food policy in real shopping baskets.
