Zimbabwe Food Balance sheet

The FBS results provide information on national food availability for human consumption in terms of kilocalories, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins and other micro and macronu- trients. It is used to estimate the country’s dietary energy supply per capita per day for the nutrients listed above for a given year. The FBS data also help in determining whether a country is self-sufficient or relies on imports to feed itself. Furthermore, the FBS can be used as input data to measure and monitor progress on some of the Sus- tainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicators
