The objective of this study was to estimate demand relationships among meat and fish groups using data from Saudi Arabia for the period 1968 to 1992. Two flexible demand systems are presented and estimated: the Rotterdam System (RS) introduced by Theil (1965) and Barten (1966) and the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS), introduced by Deaton and Muellbauer (1980). Furthermore, a variable reflecting the effects of habit on purchases was incorporated into both the RS and the Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS). Nested and non-nested tests were performed to examine the appropriateness of the expenditure or income variable in Saudi meat demand. The results favor the use of the expenditure variable implied by separability. However, the compensated own-price elasticities estimated from the LA/AIDS for meat groups are negative, as expected. Expenditure elasticities indicate that chicken and lamb are luxury goods. Chicken and lamb import demands also were estimated using Saudi Arabian data for the period 1971 to 1992. The import models indicate that: (1) the LA/AIDS model works well in analyzing the demand systems for chicken and lamb; (2) most chicken and lamb sources have price elastic demand; and (3) there exists complementarity as well as substitution relationships among chicken and lamb sources. However, Armington assumptions were tested with Saudi chicken and lamb import data. The empirical results reject the Armington assumption in both models. Moreover, the assumption that home sales and imports (chicken and lamb) are separable was rejected. Chicken and lamb demands indicate that, at the mean, the calculated own-price elasticities are greater than one in absolute value in six of the ten cases the same as the calculated expenditure elasticities in five cases. The large elasticities promise suppliers that they can benefit from Saudi's expenditure growth and that they can increase their earnings if they can reduce the price by lowering their costs. In both models, estimated parameters were used to project total meat demand, individual meat types demand, and imported chicken and lamb by source to the year 2000. Moreover, the net percentage change in the quantity of imported chicken that importers would be willing to purchase in response to a one percent change in the real price of imported chicken is 0.46 for Brazil, 0.11 for France, 0.42 for the U.S., and 0.55 percent for the R.O.W.
