Food Security Status of Household and Directions for its Improvement

The objective of this paper is to investigate the food security status of household and its determinants and to suggest future directions for the food assistant program. Logit and ordered Logit regression results indicate that the households with food insecurity have low income and experienced the aid from dietary support program. There are very close relationships between food security status of household and household income as well as household head’s education level. These results suggest that government needs to implement the food assistance program reflecting recipients’ preference for the food consumption. Price support program is desirable to the households with relatively high income while direct food aid program should be applied to the households with relatively low income.
