The PMBEJD report also looked at how much it costs for families to buy enough good food.
They found that the average cost of food for a household has gone up by 5.1% in the past year.
Many families are struggling to afford food and of those who can many are buying food that is unhealthy or does not have the nutritional benefits needed.
The report even says that due to affordability most working class people will likely spend 45.4% less on food than their family actually need them to. This means they don’t have enough money to buy healthy food for everyone in the family.
It’s important to be aware that the price of rice may unfortunately continue to rise until some of these factors change and with all the bad weather world wide, and ongoing political conflicts this is not looking too likely.
