Pakistan's food system produces enough calories but lacks nutrition, fueling a rise in diabetes and heart disease, according to a UN report.
A UN assessment released February 11, 2026, finds Pakistan produces enough calories but fails to provide balanced nutrition, with diets dominated by cereals, sugars, and oils while fruits, vegetables, and pulses remain scarce.
This imbalance drives rising rates of diabetes and heart disease, now responsible for over half of deaths.
The report, led by the FAO, cites increasing consumption of processed foods and urges policy changes, including reforming agricultural subsidies and taxing sugary products to fund nutrition programs.
