the hello. i'm adrian said again, welcome to this special edition of counting the cost on i would just say around this week, global food prices are coming down, but many countries are still facing acute food and security. it's from china, conflicts, effective states, particularly at risk. also this week, the confidence it on sparks actually monetary and crisis with 1000 splitting to tribe of other neighboring countries. adding to an already allowing food crisis that nothing to eat. the food price is the worst thing across africa with millions of people, effective by food and secure seats, but could agriculturist transformation? be the answer, the foods we will need it. we can't live without it. and when it

grows, guess all shed future is threatened. economic crises, epidemics, conflicts, and extreme weather events can wreak havoc on global food systems. in particular, when many of the shocks come at the same time, 2022 was a year of unprecedented challenges for the global food system. so is this, you're going to be at a best level? food prices fell in march this year for the 12 consecutive months down to 20.5 percent from the peak and 2020 to following russia's invasion of ukraine. the united nations food and agriculture organization says the decline was helped mainly by an agreement to unblock ukraine's great exports across the f a o. together with other international organizations as well. that concern remains higher for developing countries, which are still facing double digit food inflation. aggravated by the depreciation of a local currencies against the us dollar. and the mounting debt button advanced leading

to rising food and security on the nourishment of a 30 percent of food as lost or wasted each year globally. that's a striking statistic, given the launch number of people going hungry around the world. over a 3rd of all food produced estimates of the 2 and a half 1000000000 tons globally, is lost or wasted each year. one 3rd of this occurs at the food production stage. boston consulting group estimates that this wasted food is with $213000000000.00 as well. this year is you have another one that is extreme in jeopardy. so the struggling to feed the families with bull, the 900000 people around the world, fighting to survive in firm and like conditions. this is 10 times more than 5 years ago. and that's on allow me leave rapid increase. the scale of the current global hung, the amount interest in crisis, is growing bigger and bigger. with 345000000 people projected to be food and secure

in 2023 alone. and that's more than double the number of 2020, a staggering rise of 200000000 people compared to pre cobit 19 pandemic levels. a. but why is the world hungry at that of the united nation as well? food program says that a deadly combination of factors lies behind it. conflict, it is still the biggest driver of hunger, with 70 percent of the wealth hungry living in areas afflicted by war and violence, conflicts and ukraine, and sue don. i saw the proof of how conflict feeds hung up. the climate crisis is another one of the leading causes of the steep rise in global hunger. climate sharks destroy lives, crops, and livelihoods. and onto mind people's ability to feed themselves global, fertilize the prices of climbed even faster than food prices. for i think the ton of food affordability and to food availability. crisis with the production of may is rice slowly being a week or fully in 2020 to international aid agencies. operating costs are also

a little time high. the world food program is monthly operating costs a $73000000.00 above the 2019 average. a staggering 44 percent rise. the extra now spent on operating costs would have previously fed $4000000.00 people for a month. joining us not from rome is marcos sanchez. marco is an economist and deputy director of the ad for food economics division at the food and agriculture organization of the united nation is the f. a o mark of good to have you with us globally, food prices. how big gum to full from the peak? of the early 2022. and you had in some places, food prices remain stopping really high. what's going on? give me what is going to be domestic the countries. and there's several explanations as to why countries are still seeing that, increasingly, prices decent as you treat me, but certainly shows that which means that you know,

the listing prices. we always divert from the world prices for awhile at low risk need because there are 20 distortion is that you read the listing prices and that is space. so how, what is going on at this point of the construction, you convert more the mission or state policies, you know, export restrictions, quantities to support farmers. ready consumers depending on what we saw from the boat, etc. you're asking is that maybe the interest? yeah. honestly using the exchange rate of change. so it's showing depreciation because it's probably get shaking at that. it was a may your major impact on the, on the bill. i mean, they'd be costing much more for those footage workspace, but she ran up the future. so domestic on, you know, therefore, prizes their blood pressure. their crazy question. i'm not a certain time to find a lot of this point. you know,

this is still the registrar of the muscle force. so the consumer, you know, i've seen shows on a recovery in the fact that sunday, okay, didn't want to are increasing, the price is nice to put it. but if people call it a 4 to 8, i, are you satisfied with the international communities? response to the sum of the 2020 to the crisis was, was badly averse is what happens when, when, when the next food shop comes along, how much impact is climate change go to it had to have on, on people's food and security that's, that's a big issue right now, let me be frustrated with the stress one point here. even before, you know, even before the one in green, we were showing numbers. the, for example, in 2020 only, you know, i thought 3100000000 people in the world when the 43 prostate.

now the response, your story i, i must sell, you know, what we haven't seen the global. okay. price response will be waiting for additional discovery decision makers in the, in to will be lines and you know, solutions and the strategies to they are safe. sure. no glasses between the air, beyond finance. and at the same time, you know, may are nice stage of acting, weird evasion, some time around each crisis. so what's your, your outlook for the rest of the, of the market? i mean, off of food prices in these areas where they remain stability high going to start to come down. oh will because of the, the, the pressures they that you talked about a people still going to be unable to afford to eat this time next year. yeah. i mean, the very wizard me for what you mean price continue to decline because

there are structural issues that they have different systems very, very oh no, we're costly nutritious, which then make sure you guys have where there's a, how the price the it will, i'm thinking is that you know what the price is worth, the price is when it continues to a me, they actually decline to how a, depending on the cost in markets, on demand titles. and you've been mentioned in various markets like energy for example. um, obviously what happens to where, you know, when you see, for example, a new movie, then you start worrying about what would happen, how, you know the difference is stakeholders, india and it will just didn't react to just sticks. but the, the price as low prices were to make my statement at no time. what happens the problem? because here we are no longer at all economics, but we're talking about mac freakonomics. they're talking about

a mocking dash. we're talking about pressures from bias of payments. and therefore, what is going on with the exchange rate depreciation ink cartridge that are bought deeper. net one? it's just what see the reason for this voicemail. so, you know, that's why i feel just as they, you know, not only for systems actors, but we really have to work with all the international distribution that was given these aspects in the cultures that are link introducing stress. all kinds from really good structure, manufacturing vapor, being with us on counting the cost. the most level besides droughts, floods, and disease outbreaks, conflicts is one of the main drivers of food and security of the world. the one i'm fully installed on is no different hundreds of people have been killed while thousands of others have had to slaves and neighboring countries. and that's adding to an over the ramp and food and security crisis that the fighting is exacerbated

and already difficult. humanitarian situation inside su, done with over $11000000.00 people, barely metering the minimum food requirements. while the u. n. world food program is one with the conflict, could disrupt food shipments for more than 400000, displaced people in neighboring countries. and then the delayed delivering food will make it hard to get long term supplies in place. in time for the 5 month rainy season. that is due to begin next month. but the united nation says that the 100000 people have fled, sued on, since the fighting broke out. on april 15th, i'll just say it was, i'm gonna address reports now from google. they have the chance to don border with thousands of refugees from the full region that been arriving. they keep coming any way they can. the united nations high commissioner for refugees says, an average of 100 people are registered here every day. all of them from the 4 feeling attacks from ethnic malicious. so they money,

brian de la just arrived through this family at this informal camp or 4000. thank you. the $35.00, minding that even residents of the capital on setting much better on details about now is how and where his family finds food and shelter. blind and helpless human consider sunday mind arrived 5 days ago with his lights, probably hoping also to find food shelter and some piece sofa. he says he's found none. well, i do not see what uh we have had no food and no clean water since we arrived here 5 days ago. i think bob was going to mind this. a good camp may be preoccupied with safety and welfare of the family. but for the young ones, any time is amusement time from 10 don't do to conclude another border communities must migration to child is fueled by violence and threats of it from ethnic

miniatures and reveling groups. while some refugees want to go back home as soon as security improves some say we plan to make that move to chide. permanent. united nations one's been folding crisis in some time, can blind to the entire region into a deeper crisis. something chad government says it's taken seriously. that is crucial for chide. which piece is also friday? how many degrees and dizzy to google? you have a charge suit on board. we're trying to get stuff from nairobi. a statement of mala mala is the vice president of humanitarian affairs of cat international goods. have you with us a deep knowledge? what's the current humanitarian situation in china right now for certain these refugees to you? my opinion, situation in john is the last time the emails before the crisis due to the fighting. and so the started on the 15th,

the job has been as reminded in prices. well, i don't say that anything but happening to my to be an easy job. unfortunately is a very forgotten classes. and right now what has been happening over the last few days? i'm the 10s of thousands of people crossing the border and just said to be up in the villages, putting up in the open door deemed some of the trial to me harshly, minute shot, and majority of their, of women and children. the bay was because been so stories the charges at all 50000 now and it just estimated to grow to over 100000 in the next few days. and what about those who been left behind in a sit down some 15000000 people are reportedly lacking basic food requirements. and so john is on the thing. and so that's i shudder to think that what is going to happen next. as you said, almost 60000000 people have been in need. that is one of the entire country and

this talk about the phone, which people have worked in there before. so that is, has been waiting to the 11. it'd be good and, well, this is before the 15 on it, so they have these mazda gas in children have been severely to be managed and ensure which i'm gonna be your by in good news in backdating women. how are you pretty much. so what has happened after this? the services basic has has those is what the foundation, interesting power that has been, she was shortage. i feel that the number is around 61 percent, but i see that this number would be higher. the, the, the close, which means that the, the judge, i'm not getting married to a,

those who have been lucky, but for my had to, she have not been giving good afternoon treatment. so he just just aggravating going work. and the psychological trauma, the people facing the women and children. and i must say, every crisis is honda for women and children and the instances of sexual engine to be as well as is consolingly on that as the world food program has one that is going to be unable to feed those who have made it to child unless it receives urgent funding, i mean how much money is, is needed, what, what sort of sum of money are we talking about here? we're talking about hundreds of millions. and if i be specifying according to the response that for the job, the last one, the latest one, the 674000000 dollars not may sound like a big number, but we had to put in a half 1000000 people urgently. this has many of the big just the same

last i want to say it's not only the money or what needs to come at the urgency. we so flexibility. the other problem which we have to be really worrying about. another thing is that they see the concept in the next 4 to 6 weeks. that means what that, how are you going to be to manage it is to be able to reach those people generally have or which means you really need to add fast. so chad, as i said before, is that the prices no just receiving so many, all the new one if you do something in which only been a generosity validity detection. so that be able to seem like do the something, something like, what is it? 40 percent of people live below the poverty line already that in chat, this is without the refugee crisis of city. he saw what had happened. the last 4 people harder for people, and usually the situations like this,

how the basic services, the what the vision, the costs, the go higher. and you know, in all this, what is the need for the georgia pd's not putting up. it's very dry. so water and sanitation are the degrees and the reason says in the other thing is called the stadium, is the diseases like the others? and as you are, the big sweat on, the top of the country is low and the last. so i didn't say in this day and age of it is not excusable, not accidentally that people go hungry just because they cannot have access to because nobody does more than enough form produced will be the split. but it just turned one by one click, the displacement which has been rated as the last couple of weeks. development

really gets to too many fights. and thanks for being with us on counting the cost of africa. spinning the front of what's known as the perfect storm of food, few on fertilizer crisis, exacerbated by the warranty of tran, plus sewing inflation wise in depth at extreme weather events like drops and floods . farm is in africa. we'll need as much as $65000000000.00 in loans every year to produce enough food to cub inputs and cushion that economies from external shocks. the consummate imports over $100000000.00 metric tons of cereals at an annual cost of $75000000000.00. according to the african development bank, these importation costs could climb to $150000000000.00 us dollars by 2030. and we'll discuss all of that. we're joined now from cape town by peter jacob's pizza as a research director in the inclusive economic development division at the human sciences

research council. good to have you with this feature. of course, we've been saying on the program that since last year and the train was course, an acute food crisis globally, especially the in africa. what is the situation right now in africa? because situation is really dire and it's in the past. so result of the, of the war situation with a lot of companies to kind of the funding ports. but we have seen a number of other of factors or circumstances contributing to the diet situation, especially as 3 t regions of the continent. it's east africa, central africa, and the some parts of west africa, especially around the se, how area around the keno paso and those companies. so those are the, every, as maybe we've got experience with shortages, extreme levels of hunger and a number of factors contributing to there's been, we've seen

a little bit of relief from 40 ports to some of the countries, especially the countries such as the drift and the c o p a, that have been the key ports where they have benefited from the i see great initiative that what's negotiated by the united nations. and this is the reason to be an extended. and so this is a broad, a little bit of relief in some of the areas of brain deliveries to those 3 or 4 different ports in egypt. as you go to add to your peer, the extent of the brain would be to the rest of the coffin. however, it's dependent very much on localized, productive capacity as well as other factors that play into instead of the ability or producers both farmers to produce food locally. those imports a costing africa daily the amount of money that it's having to, to,

to spend that all those who say that africa could and should be feeding itself in most african farms. the, the amount of, of rice mays, of the staple trusts crops, while the harvested per acre or, or heck to are often less than half of what follows elsewhere the world of producing wife those sub signed that all this stuff is. what's it, what does african agriculture need to do to improve prop you? that's a very important question. i think that the customers straight to the bottom be because dependency on a, a, with a to the next. the grinding they said to and a whole host of other of interests, especially a recently coming in to the works with program and support from japan and france. those have had been with them to the extent of the, you know, improvements it is really the emphasis should be on being africa's own productive capacity. the factors that have really input africa's development in

the cost of sector in the last few years, i have really be the decline, the situation, as well as a localized conflicts. so the reasons that i mentioned earlier, especially east africa, ends up the part of the se, how it's really been driven by localized palm springs, as well as extreme drought conditions. and uh, in those barriers, i think he's been very, very difficult to up scale production and productive capacity. and those are the regions of the, of the customer. very good, very, very high levels of floating security and hunger. how can you change that around the, the valuable agreement of 2014, which is going to have it's a $1010.00 anniversary. the next year is literally about investing in agricultural r and d, improving the ability of companies to support the agricultural sector in some

countries. you've had very, very good investments in for expense to include the support programs and inputs support programs for fathers. and that's really, really pretty cool. we've specifically referring to them being able to support programs support programs in terms of the year. i think those ones that have really helped to improve, to the extent some of the productive capacity. okay. uh, width of those support programs will be sufficient, be belong, wrong. we, we'll have to wait and seats. peter, if you are in charge, how would you 6 things, how can africa find a long term solution to hung up and malnutrition? i think the 1st and most important task people to, for doctor to pasadena last week at easter pro invest increasingly even organic centralize is usually can. i have a lot of programs in line with the mandible agreement on investment being that

we're getting to it the lives of programs. i think that would help with cost of growing productive areas. i weren't given the past regions of the say how that is where we have a positive form is with livestock, and that's just going to be a little bit more complicated because they've had the drought and lack of rain full there in those regions. and so there we, we've got to have different kinds of interventions, but obviously we also need to focus on a reduction in conflict across the, across the continent. why? because this has put a lot of pressure is on herb and supplements where you've got displaced populations crowding in those regions. and that resulted in a really extreme for insecurity conditions. so when you can have intervention stuff can address productive capacity, improve products, capacity address. uh, private to change to problems and reduce brunswick. i think that will be an agenda

for us to begin to address uh, actually talk to the social development in africa in the short term because it's been really got to talk to you on catching the cost manufacturing data being with us. i want to see here, and that's all show for this week. if you'd like to comment on anything that you've seen, you can get in touch by choosing be i'm at a, sitting in on twitter, try for one of the to use the hash tag h a see to see when you do or you could drop us a line counting the cost of elders 0 dot net is our email address. as always, this print team of your online at out 0 dot com slash ctc. that takes you straight to a page that you'll find individual reports, links, an entire episodes for you to catch up. but is it for this edition of counting the cost on a tree instead of going from the whole team play? so being with us, the news on which is 0 is next the
