What the map shows

Average monthly household expenditure on beef, COICOP 01121, 2021.

Istat reports three macro-areas: North €28.98, Centre €31.20, and South and Islands €36.08 per household per month. The Italian average is €31.69. Regions within the same macro-area therefore share the same mapped value and are not independent regional observations.

Macro-area€ / household / month

South and Islands36.08
Italy31.69

The COICOP item refers specifically to beef and veal. The map is therefore explicitly cattle-only.

Limits and open questions

Spending is not quantity. Differences in euros may reflect quantities, prices, cuts, retail channels and basket composition.

The geography is macro-area, not region. No regional detail is estimated.

The reference year is 2021. More recent national price indices and Ismea/NielsenIQ reports exist, but they do not provide the same territorial granularity and are not mixed into this map.
