Changes in food and essential amino acid availability from 1961 to 1992
Group and country data: 1961 versus 1992
The availabilities of food energy (kilocalories per day), total protein, animal protein, cereal protein, and pulse-soya protein (grams per day) are shown in table 13. Also shown are the availabilities of essential amino acids (milligrams per day) for developed countries, developing countries, and least developed countries as well as for the three major countries of the Indian subcontinent -Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. These are tabulated for 1961 and 1992, the first and last years of the current FAO/Agrostat [17] data set.
