Note:
Rural food consumpton of gran s derved from household survey data.
Feed grain is derived from livestock production data. The quantity of meat (pork, beef
and lamb) s converted from the gross weght (wth bones) at a converson rato of 0.5.
The weight conversion ratios between meat and feed grain are assumed to be 2.8 for
meat production, 1.0 for poultry, eggs, cultured fish and shrimp, etc., and 0.3 for milk
producton.
The feed consumpton of draught anmals was assumed to be 0.5 kg per anmal per day.
The consumpton of seed gran was derved from the sown area of gran n year 2000 at
an estmated average 0.15 tonnes per hectare.
Self-consumpton ratos are the proportons of farmers' lvng or producton consumpton
of gran that s provded by themselves as a percentage of ther total consumpton. They
are based on the author's personal experence n varous rural surveys.
