COMCEC Agriculture Outlook 2016
33
At the sub-regional level, average dietary energy supply adequacy is the highest in the
Arab Group with a 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 African Group, it is still below the OIC average.

Average value of food production, which provides a cross country comparison of the
relative economic size of the food production in a country or region, is another indicator to
measure the availability aspects of food security. It is calculated in three year averages, and
expresses the food net production value, in constant 2004-06 international dollars terms, per
caput.
