Falling food prices fail to ease poverty - Nation Online (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Malawi’s improving macro economic indicators are yet to translate into better conditions at the dinner table with new World Bank data showing that more people cannot afford minimum food requirements despite declining overall poverty and moderating inflation.
