Gross Supply

Gross Supply is the quantity of food supplies available before disposal to food and non-food uses. It is comprised of Beginning Stocks, Production and Imports.

Production – relates to the total domestic production that takes place during the reference period.  It includes commercial and backyard production.

Beginning Stock – quantity of the commodity available at the beginning of the reference period.  This includes stocks held at various levels from the farm to final consumption or consumers of the commodity usually at the household level.  It also includes that part of imports in stocks.

Import – covers all movements of commodity into the country irrespective of the purpose.  It includes inflow of goods resulting from commercial trade and food aid from donor countries.  As a rule, figures are reported in terms of net weight which excludes weight of the containers.

Total Utilization

Total Utilization comprises Seeds, Feeds and Waste, Processing, Exports and the balance which represents the Net Food Disposable.

Export – covers all movements of commodity out of the country.

Seeds – the amount of commodity allotted for seeds or in general for production purposes.

Feeds – the amount of food commodity allotted for animals or livestock/poultry during the reference period.

Wastage – the amount of food commodity lost during the reference period at various stages from farm to retail level as in processing, storage and transport. 

Processed – the amount of commodity manufactured into food and non-food items.

Net Food Disposable – the amount of food commodity available in its original (unprocessed) form for human consumption.  This is usually equated or made equivalent to the quantity consumed.  Net food disposable (NFD) is residual, i.e., it is the remainder after all the “use” parameters are taken into account.     

Ending Stock – the stock of commodity available at the end of the reference period.  This includes stock held at the various levels, i.e., households, traders, government and commercial warehouses.

Per Capita Net Food Disposable refers to the quantity of food consumed per person. It is derived by dividing total consumption of a particular commodity by the population.

TU = Ex + S + F&W + P + NFD + ES
NFD = GS - (Ex + S + F&W + P + ES)

Per Capita NFD (kg/yr) = Total NFD/Population
Per Capita NFD (grams/day) = (NFD (kg/yr)/365 (days))x1000

Where
TU - Total Utilization
Ex - Exports
S - Seeds
F&W - Feeds and Wastes
P - Processing for Food and Non-Food
NFD - Net Food Disposable
ES - Ending Stocks
