Dutch Multimedia published an article stating that domestic food price inflation remains high globally. Information between September and December 2022 shows high inflation in almost all low- and middle-income countries. The article quotes from an analysis by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). IFPRI surveyed 44 low- and middle-income countries and found the potential impact of food inflation on waste and stunted growth in 1.27 million preschoolers.
The study shows that the effects of food inflation strike early – in the first 1,000 days of life – and during pregnancy and childhood and disproportionately affect the rural poor and landless.
