| How is the net availability of foodgrains estimated? | Gross Production (-) seed, feed & wastage, (-) exports (+) imports(+/-) change in stocks. | (kgs Per Year) Source: Directorate of Economics and Statistics, DAC&FW. Notes: a) The net availability of foodgrains is estimated to be Gross Production (-) seed, feed & wastage, (-) exports (+) imports(+/-) change in stocks. b) The net availability of foodgrains divided by the population estimates for a particular year indicate per capita availability of foodgrains in terms of kg/year. Net availability, thus worked out further divided by the number of days in a year i.e., 365 days gives us net availability of foodgrains in terms of grams/ day. c) Figures in respect of per capita net availability given above are not strictly representative of actual level of consumption in the country especially as they do not take in to account any change in stocks in possession of traders, producers and consumers. b) Foodgrains includes rice, wheat,other cereals and all pulses.
