It’s been reported that consumers have expressed their concern at the high cost of food prices. This comes as food prices across the world are on the increase.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation has been quoted saying it’s unlikely that prices will ever return to where they were in the past. Even tougher times lie ahead with a probable rise in food, fuel and electricity prices.
Some economists say the fact that there are more people living in urban areas means that we are dependent on a few people to produce food. Another increase in food prices is said to be that agricultural products are now being used for energy as well.
