Notes :-1.  Per capita net  availability given above is not strictly representative of the actual  level of consumption in the country, because it does not take into account any change in stocks in possession of traders, producers and consumers.
2. For Calculation of per capita Net availability the figures of Net Imports From 1981 to 1994 are based on  Imports  and  exports  on  Govt. of India account only.  Net Imports from 1995  onwards are, however, based on the total exports and Imports (both Government and Private accounts).
