![]() Although rice is accessed by most of the households through their own production in all regions, about 66 percent and 55 percent of the households in the dry zone and hilly region respectively buy rice from other regions or states as they produce an insufficient amount for their daily consumption. The main consumption pattern of the hilly region can be described as rice-vegetables-root crops whereas in the delta region it is rice-vegetables-fish, in the dry zone it is rice-vegetables-fish-pulses and in the coastal region it is rice-vegetables-fish-nuts. Cereals, oilseed crops and pulses play a dominant role in the country’s food security and in its food economy. Abstract The terms food security and insecurity are used to describe whether or not people have access to a sufficient quantity of food that is of good quality.
