Eduardo Zegarra: “Many people are buying less quality and quantity (of food), especially in the poorest strata”
“The increase in annualized food inflation is around 15%. This data is very strong because it is a year in which Peruvian families have seen their income stagnant or falling. People have a little less income and now they have to go to buy food that is more expensive. Many people are buying less quality and quantity, especially in the poorest strata”.
Eduardo Zegarra, Senior Researcher at GRADE, discussed in Sálvese Quien Pueda the initial stage of a food crisis in Peru with a projection to worsen.
