Per capita intake of minerals and vitamins rose due to wheat flour enrichment and shifts in consumption, with citrus fruits tomatoes leafy greens and dairy up, while potatoes and grain fell. Distribution controls improved access despite shortages and higher prices shifting availability across regions and income groups.
