Paddy production, Area, and Yield: Phase 1 Baseline: NRDS (figures for 2008); the figure for area is about “area under rice cultivation,” rather than area harvested; Phase 2 Baseline: Monitoring and Evaluation baseline study (figures for 2022); Current: Monitoring and Evaluation baseline study (figures for 2022); 2030 Target: NRDS2.

Self-sufficiency: Self-sufficiency Ratio: Monitoring and Evaluation baseline study (figures for 2022). Imports, Exports and Consumptions: 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.
