Rising food inflation making daily bread unaffordable for low-income families in South Asia

Families in Lahore and similar South Asian cities struggle to afford basic staple foods like roti (bread) as prices surge due to inflation, currency devaluation, and supply chain disruptions. Low-income households spend 60-80% of their income on food, leaving no buffer for emergencies or other essentials. Current solutions like government subsidies are insufficient, poorly distributed, and fail to address the root causes of price volatility.
