Limpopo will suffer the worst food insecurity in 2025.
Forty nine percent of the South African population will go to bed hungry by 2025. This is according to the Shoprite Food Index compiled by the World Data Lab launched on Monday to mark World Food Day. However, despite the bleak forecast, the index shows that the incidence of people escaping food insecurity is improving. In August, food inflation in the country slowed to 8.2 % from 10 % the previous month.. This as the country continues to be faced with a multitude of economic challenges.
“Our intention efforts will massively shift the needle and that’s why we have to work collaboratively across the value chain including agriculture, manufacturing, retailers, government and NGOs to address this,” says Sanjeev Raghubir, Head of Group Sustainability: Shoprite.
