CONSUMPTION
EXPENDITURE DATA OF FOOD
The
estimates of Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) in the
national accounts are compiled by commodity flow approach which
is not feasible to be adopted at the State level due to open state
boundaries. Therefore, the state-wise PFCE estimates are not available
with the Central Government.
The
decline in the estimates of PFCE on Food group is mainly on account
of (i) fall in production of rice, wheat, jowar, maize, bajra
and gram in the cereal sub-group; arhar, moong, urad and masoor
in the pulses sub-group; potato and milk products and (ii) fall
in prices observed in case of rice, jowar, arhar, masoor, edible
oils and potato during the period.
Estimates
of PFCE on items which recorded a decline in 2000-01 are given
in the table below.
