Sorry that I took so long to get to it. I have only a few minor points, questions, and observations to make. Only a couple of points require follow-up from you: I ask for supporting evidence in a few places, and have a question about fish meal on page 10. Otherwise, I have made a few minor edits, mostly moving from Indian to International English, and pointed out things that particularly struck me, including a few promising points to purse for further analysis, research, and writing. Please take a few minutes to check through my points and, if possible, add the small amount of supporting evidence that I request. Once you send us the final version of the report, we will prepare it for publication and then post it on the DFM website for public consumption. 2020-12-03: Draft (“reworked paper”) received from Tara Nair (DFM_RPT_GUJ-policy-review_2020-03-27.docx ) 2020-01-12: First draft	2021-12-30
