In the first half of May, Argentina saw a significant increase in food prices, leading to a 1.83% rise in the food basket and 46.4% increase over the past year, according to Indec. This inflation has caused extreme hardship, particularly for lower-income households where food expenditures make up a substantial portion of their total expenses. As a result, poverty rates have escalated, with over 20 million people falling below the poverty line in 2020. To address this, the government has implemented the Alimentar card and the Universal Child Allowance (AUH), but challenges such as card usage issues and insufficient funds to cover basic needs persist. The situation has led to a surge in the number of people relying on food banks, with severe food insecurity affecting many households, especially those with children. Despite these initiatives, many households remain in poverty, highlighting the urgent need for more comprehensive solutions to address the deep-rooted issues of food insecurity and poverty in Argentina.
