“Food prices rose again sharply, threatening the health and well-being of millions of people,” World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said in a statement on Thursday from the bank’s Washington headquarters. “Africa and the Middle East are particularly vulnerable, but so are people in other countries where the prices of grains have gone up abruptly.”

I made a thread, in 2011, concerning this. It was even pinned. Normally my threads disapear within 2 minutes, I couldn't believe it.

Anyways, the food prices are going to rise. That doesn't affect me, nor you. In the extreme case you eat a steak less, or pay more for the burger.

But, in the countries, like those we are watching on this thread, and others in that region, will be affected and that, very grave. Up to the point that it could get life threatening for any regime or government or who and whatever is on the head of the state.

It also affects the rice basket in asia .... .

This is no shit, there is a big chance that in large areas on this planet people will be on a diet.
