The literature used throughout the study points out that the factors that determine the demand for a particular good are the consumer's income, the price of the good, the price of the substitute and complementary good and the habits and tastes of individuals. Therefore, in the present study, we resorted to the use of three factors that are extremely relevant to explain the demand for chicken (income, the price of chicken and the price of beef). Methodologically, this is an exploratory study that adopted an approach with quantitative characteristics and cross-sectional series data. Thus, the results found in the research were in accordance with the theory used in the research and the independent variables (consumer income, price of chicken and beef) included in the model are statistically significant and determining the quantity of chickens demanded, during the June 25, 2022 in individuals residing in the Muatala neighborhood in the city of Nampula.
