Working Group Report on

to estimate the feasible level of export of the above-mentioned commodities for the years 2025-26, 2030-21, 2035-36, 2040-41, and 2047-48 The Working Group critically assessed and examined the data requirements and methodological issues in arriving at realistic estimates of demand and supply of food commodities, input demand, and feasible levels of exports. [...] The share of nutri-cereals in the cereal basket has declined sharply on account of the steady increase in the production of rice, wheat and maize. [...] The matter of concern is the deceleration in the growth of oilseeds production on account of the stagnation in their area. [...] More importantly, climate change has emerged a significant threat to the sustainability of food production systems, and the threat is likely to be more pronounced in the plausible future climate scenarios, which in the absence of adaptation and mitigation, will threaten the food and nutrition security of all from upstream to downstream of the food supply chain. [...] The other way to examine the change in food preferences is to analyze the change in the food basket in terms of consumption of foods based on the extent of value addition to them.
