The table gives information about different sorts of foodstuffs consumed by Italians in 1992, 2002 and 2012.

In 1992, the amount of beef consumed was the highest, with 45 million euros. The second-largest figure belonging to the chicken was about 38 million euros. The amount of Beef consumption, in 2002, increased to 54 million euros, while the expenditure on beef was higher with 56 million euros at the same time.
