Timor Leste, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Pakistan have the highest rates of undernourishment in Asia, according to the Asian Development Bank.

Almost 27 percent of the population of Timor Leste remains undernourished, and more than 1 in 10 people report being hungry. Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Pakistan are other Asian countries with the highest rates of undernourishment in the region. The rate of undernourishment is as high as 26.8 percent in Afghanistan, 22 percent in Sri Lanka and 22 percent in Pakistan, as per latest data by the Asian Development Bank.

Mongolia (20.5 percent) and Laos (18.5 percent) are the other Asian countries which are battling high rates of undernourishment among the population.

South Asian neighbours, India and Bangladesh, with comparatively large sets of population also have 16.4 and 15.2 percent rate of undernourishment respectively.

Elsewhere in Asia, Cambodia, Myanmar and Philippines have also recorded a high rate of undernourishment. While Cambodia and Myanmar both have recorded 14.2 percent rate of undernourishment, Philippines’ is a whisker less at 13.5 percent.

Even Vietnam, China and Indonesia have undernourishment rates of 11, 9.3 and 7.6 percent respectively. Indonesia’s undernourishment rate is almost the same as Nepal (7.8 percent) and Thailand (7.4 percent).

Inspite of economic growth and some amount of poverty reduction, Asian countries still face a massive challenge of undernourishment.

Besides undernourishment, Asian countries have also recorded increasing cases of stunting, micronutrient deficiencies, calorie consumption deficiency and now even obesity.

As per the FAO, overcoming these challenges would require a steady mix of policy and institutional framework rework, increased investment in agriculture as well as promoting awareness and sustainable practices.

Strengthening cooperation on a region wide basis may also help in tackling the problem of undernourishment.

[TopCat]

Bangladesh is at 16.4% & India at 15.2%.

When wound gets in healing process you feel pain and itching we are going thru this process. We have gov employees in Pakistan never works any ways they sud have replacement of everyone the day they decided to come back find new employees on their seats.
all my savings in Pakistan in Pak rupees i converted dollars to rupees rate was 86 something in 2017 i think almost 2 years i lost half of my saving but oh well we deserve this why? cuz we defend peoples wrong doing and never stand up for truth.
there is not even one gov office when you get your work done without paying under the table.
bought plots in DHA vally in 2008 and guess what i am still waiting for them to hand me over my plots.
this is not happening in only PTI gov its our nature not to correct ourselves and pass by where we need to stand.

Looks like author started wanking as soon as it finds Bangladesh figure better than Pakistan and forgot 15.2% is for India.

Because pen is mightier than the sword, specially when the sword is rusted and remains mostly sheathed.

Get rid of the mullahs... You have a beautiful country with enormous resources. You just need to make people feel safe. FDI will flow in and your deficit will go away... This is the quickest fix.
There are other fixes but are hard and I dont think you are willing to go through that hard work.

sril lanka?? never expected that.

May be it has something to do with diet culture. Committed Bhuddist usually shun animal protein. Sri Lanka is a very pious Buddhist country.

Your problem is somewhere else, not some random govt employee want some extra for a speedy execution.

I dont think so.. Monks are very healthy and well fed even without animal protein.

Why does Pakistan never compare with Bangladesh?

Bangladesh is a one party dictatorship.
The benifits of that is that things move faster when it comes to makin decisions.

Pakistan is a democracy that has a legacy of 40 years of corrupt rule.
We have a leadership now that is trying to democratically dismantle corruption and that is not an easy task.
