Comparison of CMIE expenditures and EAT Lancet cost estimates (Avg. June 2018–May 2019).
Note: Green leafy vegetables are merged with vegetables in the CMIE averages for all- India, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Odisha. The EAT Lancet cost estimates are based on primary data on rural retail prices of foods in Bihar, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh. These are therefore more comparable to expenditure data for these three states than to the all- India average. CPHS refers to the Consumer Pyramids Household Survey of the CMIE. Min and Avg refer to minimum and average costs respectively.
