Feeling The Pinch From Food Prices?

Research by Oxford Economics has found that since October last year, food inflation in Asia outside of China has risen 2.7 percentage points to 4.5%, mainly driven by the conflict in Ukraine. So how long will we be feeling the pinch from the increase in food prices and will there be any food security concerns? Priyanka Kishore, Head of India and Southeast Asia Economics at Oxford Economics shares her insights with us. Image credit: Shutterstock.com
