Empty wallets!
I just went with my mum to the departmental store the other day to pick up groceries. I was shocked to see the prices of commodities. A normal bathing bar costs Rs.25! I mean what happened to the good-old 15Rs bathing soap?
After an entire series of reading various articles and blogs, I came to this conclusion that we are responsible for this nuisance only and we are only suffering! Our consumption levels have gone so high that the prices of commodities have also sky-rocketed. According to the World Food Price Index by United Nations says that by 2050, the food output will climb to 70% and the population will be 9 billion! The gap between the demand for food and supply of the same is just going to keep on increasing. Along with that the global weather is also under a scrutiny. Every year the temperatures are going to the extreme ends as well as the rains. Natural calamities all over the world are increasing and most of them go out of control. This is also going to be one of the major reasons affecting the output of grains. If the weather is bad, the food grains are going to consecutively suffer which will in turn affect the food output and which is going to come back to the same point of, increase in the prices of the commodities! It’s all in a never ending circle.
