The crisis, driven by internal conflict and economic instability, is worsening across the Caribbean nation, FAO Chief Economist M\u00e1ximo Torero told EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEvery single indicator in Haiti has deteriorated severely,\u201d said Torero, the FAO\u2019s second-in-command, during an interview in Santo Domingo. \u201cThe main problem is the internal conflict and a totally unstable economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Torero stressed that political instability is fueling hunger in Haiti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is a political decision. We believe they need to solve their internal conflict and then pursue greater macroeconomic sustainability so the country can start moving forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FAO is focusing its efforts on rural areas to boost agricultural production, though the epicenter of the crisis remains in the capital, Port-au-Prince. \u201cHaiti has very good agricultural producers and fertile land,\u201d Torero noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rome-based organization is distributing seeds, fertilizers, and tools to increase food supply. \u201cThis won\u2019t solve the problem, but it can help minimize it,\u201d Torero added.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-102-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2095201\" style=\"width:797px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-102-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-102-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-102-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-102-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-102-430x286.webp 430w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-102-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-102.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-high-cost-of-healthy-diets-in-the-caribbean\"><strong>High cost of healthy diets in the Caribbean<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Haiti\u2019s food insecurity is compounded by a broader regional challenge: the high cost of healthy diets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the FAO, the Caribbean has the most expensive healthy diet in the world, averaging 5.40 dollars per person per day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the Caribbean, 50.7% of the population cannot afford a diversified diet, one that includes proteins, fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish, not just calories,\u201d Torero explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The economist attributed the problem to the region\u2019s dependence on food imports and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which crippled the tourism sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBeing a net food importer means you face price volatility, currency depreciation, and rising input costs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite these challenges, Torero expressed optimism that Latin America and the Caribbean, particularly South America, could still reach the UN\u2019s \u201cZero Hunger\u201d target by 2030. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He highlighted improvements in countries like the Dominican Republic, where undernourishment dropped to 3.6% in 2025, down from 8.7% in 2019, thanks to stronger social protections such as school meals.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-103-1024x682.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2095204\" style=\"width:739px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-103-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-103-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-103-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-103-1536x1022.webp 1536w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-103-430x286.webp 430w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-103-1200x799.webp 1200w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-103.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-africa-faces-growing-hunger-and-debt-burden\"><strong>Africa faces growing hunger and debt burden<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Torero also pointed to Africa as the region most affected by hunger. According to the FAO\u2019s 2025 report on global food security (SOFI 2025), hunger impacts 20.2% of the African population, compared with 6.7% in Asia and 5.1% in Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By 2030, an estimated 530 million people worldwide will be hungry, with 60% of them in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAfrica has the largest number of conflicts, combined with the effects of climate change, high poverty, and weak resilience,\u201d Torero warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that many African economies are struggling with heavy debt burdens, limiting their ability to import food. \u201cTheir import costs have risen due to both higher prices and currency devaluations, while much of their resources go to debt servicing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the bleak outlook, Torero emphasized that Africa has untapped potential. \u201cIf the continent can harness its capacities, we believe the numbers could be more positive by 2030,\u201d he concluded.
