C. Total Requirements for Beneficiaries in the Regions
To calculate the total requirements for peas for Region 1:
50,000 beneficiaries x 200g x 12 days = total grams ÷ 1000 = 120,000kgs ÷ 1000 = 120MT. Similar calculations can be done for the other regions and the WSB. The table below sets out the total requirements.
