Soaring healthy food prices source of malnutrition (Sunday Standard)

November 15, 2020


Sunday Standard (Botswana) published an article on an IFPRI study, Relative caloric prices of healthy and unhealthy foods differ systematically across income levels and continents, which states high food prices could help explain why countries such as Botswana continue to struggle with a double burden of malnutrition extremes. Many people, according to the study, in developing countries do not only have low income but also live in poor food systems where their money cannot buy them the healthy and nutritious food they really want. The majority of non-cereal foods and nutritious foods are quite expensive in low-income countries. (Reach 13K)  Republished in Botswana Direct News.
