Rwanda Food Balance Sheets (FBS) Dashboard - 2022

The Rwanda National Institute of Statistics (NISR) has published the 2022 Rwanda Food Balance Sheets (FBS) Dashboard. This publication reflects the role of FBS information in assessing Rwanda’s resilience vis-à-vis food security of its populations, providing a clear picture of a country's food supply, assess nutritional contents in terms of dietary energy, protein and fats contents per capita for the year 2022.  It also helps to assess a nation's food self-sufficiency and tracking progress on key food security Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including reducing hunger and food loss.

The results from Rwanda's Food Balance Sheets indicate that plant-based products play a major role in providing nutrients to the population, measured in terms of energy, proteins, and fats per person. Additionally, there's proof that the supply of these nutrients has slightly increased compared to the estimates of the previous year. Furthermore, Rwanda is quite self-sufficient in terms of its own production, but there's still a need for some imports to fulfill local demands.
