What does Bangladesh produce and stock, what is happening to food prices, and where is cropland most exposed to flooding?

Food: production, prices and flood exposure. Part of what the twin can answer. Every figure below is the value the route serves, with its source; the raw response is at /api/twin/brain/food.

Descriptive, sourced: no model

Basis: sourced records (URL, sha256 or locator per row), no model.

As of: Production latest: FY2023-24; Inflation latest: 31 March 2026; Prices latest: April 2026; Dhaka daily latest: 28 September 2026.

Rice output, FY2023-24: 40,697 thousand tonnes
Wheat output, FY2023-24: 1,171 thousand tonnes
Food inflation, 31 March 2026: 8.24%; BBS CPI WRI March 2026
Cropland inside the modelled 100-year river-flood extent: 4,656,769.7 hectares; lake/geo/multihazard districts.parquet, Table food cropland flood by district.parquet

Not held

Potatoes, white: change on a month earlier: fewer than 10 markets reported in both months
Sugar and broiler chicken retail prices: The WFP file holds retail rows of 5,804 BDT/kg (sugar) and 3,473 BDT/kg (chicken), which are not retail prices, so those two commodities are left out of the staple table. Sugar is shown from the Dhaka daily list only.
District cropland as a share of district farmland: No pinned district cropland denominator exists, so cropland in the flood extent is in hectares and as a share of the national total, never as a share of the district's own cropland.
Drought, salinity and cyclone exposure of cropland: The cropland join covers river flooding only. No cropland-by-hazard table exists for the other hazards.
Rice and wheat stocks: No sourced, manifest-pinned series holds public foodgrain stocks. The Directorate General of Food's stock statement is not in the lake. Round-number stock tables in the lake with no source citation were not used.

Caveats

Output in thousand metric tons by fiscal year (July to June). Rice is the sum of Aus, Aman and Boro as BBS prints them; the sums equal the BBS totals in the two reconciliation rows.
Annual CPI series are on the old base to the year to June 2022 and on a new base (2021-22 = 100) from June 2023, so no growth is computed across that step.
WFP monthly prices are market-survey retail prices. Changes use only markets that reported in both months. The mean is unweighted, so it is not a national price index.
Exposure, not damage: cropland (ESA WorldCover 2021) inside the GloFAS v2.1 modelled 100-year flood extent, depth above 0 m. Flood protection works are not modelled.
