Household Income Expenditure Survey ( ) Pakistan

HIES ( )  Total Sample Size HH  Survey period (July 2010 to June 2011)  Reference period of food data - Last 14 days for Essential daily use items (like potatoes, apple, perishable items) - Last one month for other food items

HIES ( )  Number of Food items 68  Quantities (Grams, Kg, Litre, Number) (but converted in gm/ml for food security indicators using Standard density conversion factors)  Values in Pakistani Rupee

Limitations & Recommendations based on the Food Security Data

Limitations  Quantities are in local units,  In Survey food items list is not specific, but in the forms of group like “Wheat & Wheat Flour”  Scope of the survey does not include the Tribal areas, Azad Jammu Kashmir & Gilgit Baltistan

Recommendations  In Survey, Food items list should be revised and items must be specific  Scope of the survey should cover entire country  Workshop has made us realize at policy making, that broad brushed policies should be replaced with policies based on real time Food security indicators.P  PoU in urban area is higher than rural, so attention may be given to Urban areas.  Special incentives to agriculture development in Sindh (Watan Card Scheme)  Awareness campaign for healthy and protein rich diet
