Since 1984, every year just before the Ramadan... In Bangladesh we have to buy the cooking oil... Onion... And some other food price goes up only because of the Indian supply chain which is not related to Russia war.

My condolences with poor Bangladeshi people

The food crisis in Bangladesh is not for war rather following the prescription of IMF and World bank like cutting the subsidy in agriculture. Also the hoarding of neccesity food. The govt inability to monitoring this. And the abnormal profit earning motive of Capitalist for monopolistic nature of few market structure.

It's something else because the dependance on sunflower oil is insignificant and the wheat is not our staple food. Bring out the really " whispering- it's uncontrolled corruption and money laundering"

I think, this report is not whole scenery of the country. It’s misleading info type report. Yes, there are high inflation currently which is so far okay looking at the global supply chain.

The US & Australia can produce a vast amount of grains. US farmers were giving potatoes to neighbors during the start of Covid.

When countries depend on two Counties for their Total trade then its their fault. Cheaper trades makes countries Richter to sell a 0.89 product to its people for 1.67 or more.

There once was a time when the USA was considered the Bread Basket of the world, but all other countries complained, that it costed to much. Now everyone is being forced to cultivate their own and they still complain about the USA. Be independent and learn about personal responsibility and you will live well enough.

overpopulation is what triggers food crisis in that part of the world the most.

Bangladesh don't have any food crises in fact Bangladesh is self-sufficient country.. Bangladesh does not worry for food

[EmergingBangladesh]

there is no food crisis in bangladesh, just price hike for illegal stock up.

[sharhankhan]

I live in Bangladesh. There is no shortage of food. In Ramadan businessman's are increasing price. And after Ramadan price is automatically fixed. Thats the scenario of Bangladesh. Like to buy a T-Shirt you have to pay double the price in Ramadan until Eid. Then that T-Shirt will be sold in one fourth from double price. In Ramadan People are buying too much items. And get huge bonuses for EID... Everyone has money that's why price increases a little bit. After EID it fixes. You know in Bangladesh people get Eid bonuses double or triple amount of salary. So it's obvious prince will increase that month! It's all about demand and supply

[charliechetram]
