What it proves

Food-security production evidence; outcomes can improve despite structural vulnerabilities.

Draft — not reviewed

What it does not prove: Production is not availability and availability is not consumption: 29.61m tonnes is national output before storage losses, procurement policy and price, and a 4.3% rise sits against 2.07% annual population growth, so the per-head gain is modest. Nearly 40% under-five stunting alongside rising wheat output shows the binding constraint is access, diet quality and disease environment, not tonnage.

Memory hook: 29.61m tonnes → more wheat grown does not mean more children fed

Rebuts the claim: "Child malnutrition in Pakistan is a food-production shortfall" — stunting stays near 40% in a year wheat output rose 4.3%.
