Target Increase During Phase 2
Source:
Paddy production, Area, and Yield: Phase 1 Baseline: NRDS (figures for 2007); the figure for area is about “area under rice cultivation,” rather than area harvested; Phase 2 Baseline: M&E baseline study (figures for 2019); Current: FAOSTAT (figures for 2021); 2030 Target: NRDS2.
Self-sufficiency: FAOSTAT Food Balance Sheet (2020). Data are converted from paddy to milled rice equivalent, using the rate of 0.667, which is also used by FAOSTAT. Consumption refers to the element “Food” in Food Balance Sheet.
