The per capita net availability of food grains is now calculated on Financial Year basis and is not comparable with the old series which
was based on calendar year.
Note - Figures are based on 4th Advance Estimates of production for 2020-21 (as on 27.10.21) and Net Imports and stock position for
April 2020 to March 2021.
The net availability of foodgrains is estimated to be Gross Production (-) seed, feed & wastage, (-) exports (+) imports, (+/-) change
in stocks.
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 is further divided by the number of days in a year i.e., 365 days which is taken
as net availability of foodgrains in terms of grams/day.
Projected Total Population by Sex as on 1st july - 2011 - 2036 : India, States and Union Territories* ('000)
Report of the technical group on population projection July, 2020
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.
