The production of vegetables in India is sufficient to meet the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for its population. Yet, it is a challenge for many Indians to consume adequate amounts of vegetables through their daily diets. The per capita production of vegetables in India stands at 318 g while the per capita consumption figure is 216 g.1 The RDA for vegetables in the Indian diet is 300 g.The deficit of approximately 80 g/day of vegetables in the Indian diet needs to be made up.
