The estimated dietary energy consumption for the period from 2006-2010 was 3 019.32 calories per person per day which is above the FAO-WHO determined requirement of 2 200 calories per person per day to meet the basic nutrition needs. It is evident from the dietary energy contribution that the intake of nutrients is limited and the diversity of food composition is very poor. Within cereals, the demand for maize and buckwheat is fulfilled by domestic production and the rest is met through imports. In 2010, Bhutan imported 50 percent of its rice, 20 percent of its millet and 64 percent of wheat and barley.
