Who is a consumer?
When a baker produces bread, he produces it for someone to eat or to consume. A farmer produces yam for people to consume.

He may not necessarily be the end user of the product. For example, in some homes, the father buys noodles while the children eats the noodles. In this example, the father is the customer while the children are the consumers. To learn more, Click here.
