The Nation (Malawi) published an article stating that households in urban areas are spending an average of 56 percent of their expenditure on food, a development that shows that food prices are on the rise. According to IFPRI’s current research, in Malawi, poverty levels were projected to worsen in the just-ended year to 56.3 percent from 50.5 percent as the measures which were affected to reduce the Covid-19 spread had reduced household incomes by an average of 11.4 percent.
