average dietary energy supply in OIC member countries is estimated to be 23.3 percent more
than the average dietary energy demand; as compared to 15.4 percent in the period 1990-
1992. Average dietary energy supply adequacy in the OIC has become slightly higher compared
to the world recently.

At the sub-regional level, average dietary energy supply adequacy is the highest in the Arab
Group with 138 percent in 2014-2016. Considering the adequacy rate of developed countries
which is 136 percent, Arab Group has moderately higher dietary energy supply adequacy than
developed countries. Arab Group is followed by Asian and African Group with 120 percent of
average dietary energy supply adequacy which is slightly lower than the world average. On the
other hand, even though the rate of growth in average dietary energy supply adequacy is
higher in the African Group, it is still below the OIC average.
