Food security implies the physical availability of food in sufficient quantities, the ability of households to access these food products (both through the market and through other sources, which implies sufficient purchasing power), as well as the consumption of food in the quantities necessary for meeting nutritional needs”.

The basic data for the food security bulletin are food production, food availability and accessibility, crop area, agricultural production, general climatic characteristics, nutrition and health status, water supply, prices and quantitative indicators of the food market situation.

The annexes to the bulletin contain indicators for the National Development Strategy Document until 2030 and indicators on nutrition of the population of various socio-economic groups.
