This Muslim country is nervous about attack on Pakistan … can come to suffer from hunger
The increasing confrontation between India and Pakistan is no longer a limited issue on the border. Its effect is also visible on the plate of Asia. Rice, onion and other essential food items may be in danger due to this stress. We are saying this because a Muslim country has been nervous due to the attack on Pakistan on Pakistan. He is afraid that if the tension between the two countries increases, then there may be a hurry to suffer from hunger in his country. Let’s know why?
Actually, India is the largest rice exporter in the world, while Pakistan is in fourth place. The two countries together send rice, onion and other food items to many countries of South-East Asia. In such a situation, any kind of war or conflict between the two countries can directly affect the supply and prices of these items.
Malaysia concerns
Malaysia is most concerned after the Aermarkar Rike and Pakistan’s retaliation done by India. The South China Morning Post, quoting Malaysia Food Security Minister Mohammad Sabu, states that if this stress affects ports or delivery infrastructure, their country’s rice supply may be affected.
This country depends on India
Countries like Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore depend on India and Pakistan for rice. Malaysia produces only 50% of its total rice consumption, while the rest have to be ordered from India, Pakistan, Vietnam and Thailand. 40% rice comes from India and Pakistan alone.
Prices of rice can touch the sky
Malaysia has a six -month rice stock, but the real problem is about prices. Cheap rice of India has dominated the global market. If stress increases, prices may rise.
Crisis can deepen further
Malaysia is already facing domestic rice crisis. If the conflict between India and Pakistan increased, then this crisis can be more serious.
Ukraine learned from war
The effect of war is not limited to rice or wheat. During the Ukraine War, chicken prices in Malaysia increased as the feed (maize) became expensive. Due to this, countries like Singapore had to import chicken from distant countries like Brazil.
