Abstract: A survey was conducted of 982 indigenous households in Southern Nigeria between October 1988 and March 1989. Results show that 70 percent of the sample households consumed some dairy products. Consumption prevalence and regularity of consumption of local products was higher around the points of production but lower elsewhere while the regularity of consumption for imported products was high everywhere. The type of products consumed and quantity of consumption and expenditure on dairy products differed markedly between ethnic groups, urban and rural populations and between southwest and southeast regions. Per caput income of dairy consuming and non-consuming households did not differ significantly in any of the locations. Among the consumers, income elasticity was higher for rural households in the southeast.
