In March 2009, the majority of the poor population were in rural areas at 67.79 percent.

The role of food commodities towards the Poverty Line is far greater than the role of non-food commodities (housing, clothing, education, and health). In March 2008, the contribution of food commodities to the poverty line was 71.42 percent.

In the period March 2008-March 2009, the Poverty Depth Index (P1) showed a declining trend and the Poverty Severity Index (P2) tended to increase. This indicates that the average expenditure of the poor tends to get closer to the poverty line and the inequality of expenditure of the poor increases slightly.
