- The conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine is likely to create a considerable shortfall in global supply of grains, oilseeds, and vegetable oils.
- The capacity of alternative origins to boost their supply is likely to be limited.
- The supply gap may push the food and feed prices up by 8 to 22 percent globally (FAO scenarios).
- Rise in global prices will ultimately affect local food prices and access to food especially for the low income groups (particularly urban poor).
- Severe implications for the poor population who spend a significant portion of their incomes on food. In Pakistan 15% of people cannot access basic food needs and 67% of people cannot access a healthy diet and are in need of greater affordability.
- As per latest IPC acute food insecurity analysis conducted in October 2021, around 4.69 million people are estimated to be food insecure (in IPC Phase 3 and 4) during April-June 2022.
- Though impact of rising food prices was considered in the IPC analysis. However, additional rise in food prices may push more people into food insecurity.
