World Bank president Robert Zoellick has echoed the concerns expressed recently by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) that high food prices threaten global stability. Yesterday he told media that food prices have hit “dangerous levels” when releasing a World Bank report that shows global food prices are up 29% in the past 12 months.
The report estimates that higher food prices have sent 44 million people into poverty in that time.
