Abstract: Nowadays, in a world where manifestations of globalization are increasingly diverse, the specific issue of consumption has important connotations. Consumers face decisive choices: health or taste; traditional or modern; domestic or import etc.?; in these conditions their choices is significantly limited by the size and strength of large food distributors and producers. The research conducted has used national statistics, and also recent studies conducted worldwide, which addresses the issue of consumption not only in terms of subjective aspects but also like effect / result of subjective influences. So we analyzed some of the major trends in food consumption in the last decade. Results of the study aimed prospects consumption amid the phenomena: concentration of production and distribution; market globalization; accountability of decision makers in the agri-food sector.
