 In 2018, the United States imposed new sanctions on Iran, causing a sharp rise in food prices and increasing the risk of food insecurity among Iranian citizens. As a result, the average retail price of food products in Iran increased significantly, while the share of household food expenditure decreased. Additionally, the cost of a healthy diet based on the food pyramid increased dramatically, making it harder for many Iranians to maintain a nutritious diet. These findings suggest that the Iranian population is at risk of becoming more vulnerable to chronic diseases and political instability in the near future.
