Adding to the woes, Rwanda ranks as the 22nd most hungry countries globally in the Global Hunger Index 2022, coming in fourth in the region after Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.
The report highlights that over 27 per cent of households have had to cut back on food portions or completely stop buying certain items deemed too expensive, such as eggs, meat and fruits, leading to inadequate food consumption and an unbalanced diet.
