Economic Times 1 hr ago·22 Jul 2026, 7:19 pm
India has made significant progress in reducing hunger and malnutrition over the past two decades. According to a UN report, the number of undernourished people in the country has declined by a substantial amount.
This progress is a positive development for the country and its citizens. However, the report also highlights a concern - the rising cost of a healthy diet. This increase in food costs could have implications for consumers and the broader economy.
Investors should watch how the government and other stakeholders respond to the challenge of rising food costs, as it could impact consumer spending and economic growth.
