Throughout the meeting, a considerable number of issues were being referred to and elaborated, such as the rapidly growing energy prices, inasmuch the goods of mass consumption, which make it difficult for households to handle the harsh conditions made. Besides, all the stakeholders highlighted the possibility of a lack of food, in addition to soaring prices in basic and mass food consumption, due to the significant percentage of imports of basic raw materials from warring countries like Ukraine.

On top of that, the academic community has stated its scientific point of view and proposed a series of viable options for dealing with a possible food crisis, although there are nowhere problems in sight concerning the insufficiency of products, but an impending increase in the price of basic commodities instead, which is expected to have a negative impact upon the low-income households.
