due to Population Increase, Life Expectancy rise and Living Standard
.On this below article we provide graphical
represntation of major causes of death in
Central African Republic.

Comprehensive data on food supply and consumption
is published by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Data
was analyzed by The Global Graph and
is published in these below Highlights, Graphs and Tables (Data Quality &
Definations)

Breakdown of the average per capita intake of cereals by specific cereal-based commodity types, measured in kilocalories per person per day. This figure measures the primary equivalent of all food products derived from a given commodity (e.g. "wheat" represents the primary equivalent of its derived products). Data refers to cereal food supply at the consumer level but does not account for consumer wastage in
