Fish and eggs as staples were also seen to be in the deficit at 476 mt and 62 mt respectively for 2013. With its reported 2010 population of 14,481, it will be important to focus on increasing the adaptation capacities on achieving food self-sufficiency. It is recommended that a shift in food production should prioritize HH needs and sufficiency over commercial production as this may increase malnutrition indices recorded earlier in the PDMS 2009 at 6.03% and a corresponding 16.02% below the food threshold. Further recommended were off – farm potential revenues as complementing needs. A shift to backyard meat and livestock production is likewise going to help.
