Overview

The Northern Territory Market Basket Survey was developed to enable those with an interest in food supply in remote communities to monitor food cost, availability, variety and quality in remote community stores. It enables information to be collected on particular aspects, such as:

• store management,
• employment of Aboriginal people,
• existence of a store nutrition policy,
• community development initiatives by the store (sponsorship, donations, nutrition promotions and store worker training).
