Note: The table lists foods that fall below the adjusted affordability threshold of 7.6% for each nutrient and province. The threshold of 7.6% was selected by adjusting the 10% threshold used in previous affordability analyses for the lower average food expenditures among households with children aged 6–23 months in Kenya, as observed in the survey data. Abbreviation: DGLV, dark green leafy vegetables.
