Notes.

1. Assuming current urban consumption plus 10%, and successful marketing of Smart Foods.

2. Assuming 5% substitution of maize, 15–20% price reduction in wholesale price of sorghum.

3. Assuming 5% substitution of wheat, 15–20% price reduction in wholesale price of sorghum.

4. Assuming rate of substitution of 100% between white sorghum and maize, and a target of 10% of current utilization and 20% price reduction in wholesale price of sorghum.

5. Assuming past growth in beer production is sustained.

6. Assuming past growth in beer production is sustained, plus favourable tax regime.

7. Total production in 2013.
