Urgent food help to Africa strained (MoneyWeb)  

May 28, 2020


MoneyWeb reported on food help needed in Africa. As efforts to curb the spread of coronavirus continue, millions of Africans are struggling to afford basic foodstuffs. David Laborde, a senior research fellow at IFPRI said, “African people are missing income to buy food. We are dealing with the number of poor people in Africa that we’ve never seen before. You are losing your income if you are urban poor and the price of food is increasing, so you are trapped between the rock and the hard place.” Republished in Business Mirror (Philippines), Sunday Tribune (South Africa)  IOL Business Report, and Capital Markets in Africa.
