Armenia is among ten countries that have achieved greatest success in reducing the total number of hungry people in proportion to their national population, the UN report says.

The other countries are Azerbaijan, Brazil, Cuba, Georgia, Ghana, Kuwait, Saint Vincent and Grenadines, Thailand and Venezuela.

About 805 million people in the world, or one in nine, suffer from hunger, according to a new UN report titled “State of Food Insecurity in the World (SOFI 2014)”.

The overall trend in hunger reduction in developing countries means that the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of halving the proportion of undernourished people by 2015 is within reach, “if appropriate and immediate efforts are stepped up,” the report said. To date, 63 developing countries have reached the MDG target, and six more are on track to reach it by 2015.
