April 23, 2020


The Economist published an article on food security during the COVID-19 crisis. In the article, Senior Research Fellow David Laborde states, ”Fortunately world food systems today are ‘in a very different situation’ from the crisis of 2007-08,” and further adds, “World food stocks are high. Prices for rice are up, but not to crisis levels.”
