Ninth Economic Update for the Republic of Congo: Climate Change Impacts, Adaptation and Opportunities

Global Food and Nutrition Security

Highlights:

As a result, the poverty rate (using the international poverty line of $2.15 a day) reached 52% in 2021, from a low of 33% in 2014.  In addition, the poor are being impacted by rising food prices, as a result of pandemic-induced disruptions in global supply chains. The war in Ukraine is exacerbating existing supply chain issues and has led to shortages which are further increasing food prices.
