Food balance sheet for Venezuela in 1951.

Abstract:

The Instituto Nacional de Nutricion has prepared a balance sheet for production, expenditure and consumption of food in 1951. This takes into account total production and changes in reserves, imports and exports, animal feedingstuffs, cereals, manufactures, waste, gross and net quantities of foods available, and estimated mean consumption per head of population by the year and day. The population numbered about 5, 050, 000. The estimated daily diet provided 2372 Cal. per head, 64.1 g. protein, 44.7 g. fat, and by difference, 428.3 g. carbohydrate. Cereals accounted for 36.85 per cent. of the total calories and foods of animal origin for 13.54 per cent.[but the diagram on p. 103 shows 21.13 per cent.]. Of the total protein consumed 41-03 per cent. was of animal origin.
