The war in Ukraine led to a huge increase in food prices last month. The statement comes from the United Nations, under which increased costs for basic products such as cereals, vegetable oil and sugar are discovered in the UN Food Prices Index that track goods.

They are at the highest level since the beginning of the census 60 years ago, jumping by nearly 13% in March, after the February summit.

Ukraine is the world's largest exporter of sunflower oil, which means that alternative costs have also increased. It is also a large producer of cereals such as corn and wheat.

The cost of living crisis is bothering politicians and has sparked warnings of social unrest worldwide. /A2 CNN
