Researchers say Corona, which is worried about food security, is putting pressure on Addis Ababa residents (Ethiopian Reporter) 

June 11, 2020


Ethiopian Reporter published an article about the fear of a global food crisis and how it pertains to Addis Ababa. Currently, food inflation has increased by more than 23 percent, and important food inputs are slowly moving away from the market, not only for the low-income population but also for those with low-income food choices. IFPRI has completed two studies: the first study shows the growing food security and nutrition security problem in Addis Ababa exacerbated by travel restrictions. The Ethiopia Strategy Support Program study shows low-income residents of Addis Ababa are at greater risk of severe economic damage and shows that their consumption of pre-eclampsia has been declining, with poor nutritional status, increased spread of the disease, and increased levels of social vulnerability.
