The low wheat consuming countries in the region seem to complement their diet by elevated consumption of other cereals, such as sorghum, maize and rice. In Sudan, for example, the per-capita consumption of sorghum is double that of wheat, with a contribution to the calorie and protein intake reaching 26 per cent and 23 per cent, respectively. Similarly, the low consumption of wheat in Somalia is supplemented by consuming rice, maize and sorghum, where their collective contribution to the calorie and protein intake is 28 per cent and 23 per cent, respectively.
