Rising wheat flour prices in Afghanistan lead to food insecurity crisis.
Rising wheat flour prices in Afghanistan led to households eating less diverse foods and choosing quantity over quality. They consumed fewer micronutrient-rich foods like meat and vegetables, opting for more staple foods. In urban areas, as wheat flour prices went up, demand for wheat products also increased. This shows that when staple food prices rise, households may struggle to maintain a balanced diet, impacting their food security.
