Abstract

the nutritional scenario is gradually improving in developing countries like Bangladesh. This study presents analytical description on the supply trend of rice, wheat, total cereals, pulses, edible oil or oil seeds, sugar or sugarcane, etc during 2004, 2010, and 2016. These statuses have been based on change in supply levels in the light of data available. Data available on food supply from food balance sheet in FAOSTAT of FAO; on food intake from Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) were the basis of trend analysis of the study. In the year of 2004 to 2016 total food supply increased from 297.6kg to 417.21kg per capita year: whereas during the same period the total food intake decreased from 856.1g to 852.67g per capita per day in the country. There might be surplus of cereals in the country, but these prospects are likely to reduce in the years to come. This situation is even more alarming for pulses. Food based approach particularly supply of adequate safe and nutritious food, adequate intake of diversified food can ensure sustainable health and nutritional status of the population. To meet the future food requirements, the country have to either increase food production and supply, or depend on imports.
