The Food Balance Sheet (FBS) is a tool that is used to assess the food situation of a given country. It provides a preview of the supply of various food commodities and their subsequent use at primary commodity equivalent. Consequently, the FBS is a national accounting/statistical framework, presenting a comprehensive picture of the pattern of a country’s food supply during a specified reference period. Given the usefulness of the FBS, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has given considerable attention to its development. As a result, countries have been encouraged to adopt the FBS framework in order to assist in analyzing the food supply situation. The FBS calculates the average quantity of a given food commodity an individual consumes in a particular year. This is given in terms of kilograms of the food item consumed by an individual.

Gross County Product (GCP) is a geographic breakdown of Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) that gives an estimate of the size and structure of county economies. It also provides a benchmark for evaluating the growth of county economies over time. The GCP estimates are consistent with the published national GDP in the sense that the sum of the GCP is equal to national-level GDP. However, it has not been possible to distribute taxes (less subsidies) on products due to lack of sufficient details.
