Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -from 21% to 80% before and during COVID-19, with 62% of households shifting from food security to insecurity and 17% staying food insecure.
Detailed explanation-2: -COVID-19 resulted in the movement restrictions of workers, changes in demand of consumers, closure of food production facilities, restricted food trade policies, and financial pressures in food supply chain.
