The table illustrates the spending on six types of foodstuffs in Italy in 1992, 2002, and 2012. Overall, in 1992 and 2012, beef received the most substantial investment, while chicken was the most invested food in 2012. Additionally, in 1992, butter or margarine was granted the smallest amount of expenditure, while the least-invested category was coffee in the other two years.

In 1992, the expenditure on beef topped with 45 millions of euros, outnumbering chicken, the second-most-invested category, by seven millions. Regarding milk, potatoes, and coffee, milk recorded the third largest amount of expenditure with 13, compared to only 11 for potatoes, and 9 for coffee. Meanwhile, the spending on butter or margarine was only 8 millions of euros.

Turning to 2002 and 2012, except for coffee, whose figure registered seven in both years, all foodstuffs’ expenditure changed. Concerning beef, its figure declined to 43 in 2002, before recovering to reach 54 in 2012, only after chicken, whose spending increased steadily from 41 to 56. With regards to the money spent on potatoes and milk, the former was 14 millions in 2002, 4 millions higher than the latter. After ten years, the four-million gap remained, with respective figures being 18 and 14. For butter or margarine, its figure only rose slightly to 9 in 2002, prior to dropping back to 8 in 2012.
