If special attention is not given, food insecurity will arise in the country: Imran

"Electricity and fuel crisis has exacerbated the plight of farmers, leaving many in the country on the brink of starvation."

Islamabad: Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has warned that "food insecurity is likely to arise in the country if the plight of farmers is not addressed." This fear is not only on the farmers but also on your survey. He further added that food insecurity is a pervasive issue. The Russia-Ukraine war has also had a profound effect on wheat supply and prices. What will happen to all of us if a situation like drought arises in it? ”

Speaking at an event in Islamabad, the former prime minister said the general public was also scared of a possible drought. In it the Russia-Ukraine war has added to the trouble.

Speaking on the plight of farmers, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader said that the recent fuel and electricity crisis and its rising rates had left farmers in a state of disarray.

He also lashed out at the current government of Shahbaz Sharif, saying that the government has failed in the economic field. So on the other hand inflation is rising.

According to a report by the International Forum for Rights and Security (IFFRAS): A food crisis has erupted in Pakistan due to unplanned planning and mismanagement of agricultural products. As all food items become more expensive, especially in rural areas, people are on the verge of starvation.

Observers say a number of factors have contributed to food insecurity in Pakistan. Inflation is the reason, but so is corruption in the country.

The World Food Program (WFP) estimates that 9% of people in Pakistan experience food insecurity. While 12% have come to the brink of starvation. In short, 51% of people are in trouble.
