2005 Household Income and Expenditure Survey ReportFigure 7 looks at household expenditure on food. In Yap and Chuuk more than half of the total householdfood expenditure was comprised of fish & seafood and fruits & vegetables. In Pohnpei and Kosrae thisfigure was a bit lower, at about a third of total expenditures, reflecting these states’ less involvement insubsistence activities and also their reliance on imported food (see Appendix B, Table 15).Figure 7.
