Fig. 4 — Share of imports in domestic food supply (in kcal/capita/day) in selected low and middle income countries (LMICs).

Source: FAO Food Balance Sheets. Note: FBS import in tonnes is converted to kcal/capita/day based on the ratio between FBS food supply in tonnes and FBS food supply in kcal/capita/day. For some products, percentages are above 100, which means that production (and stocks) are very low and the country mainly imports this product, yet there is also some exports which brings domestic supply available below the level of imports
