For comparison, may I ask how much a standard meal in your country costs for one meal? what is the standard food menu? What is the average monthly and annual income in your country? Please those who answer can use calculations in USD


With $2 you can have a full meal including drinks in my country. This is for one person and for basic food idea. If you go little bit higher like $4 you can get one of the popular meals on my continent drink included. I was referring to soft drinks not any alcohol. If you can cook your meal at home, you can cut this cost in half. I think you already got the impression that the average income isn't that high in our country. For lower-class people the monthly wage is around $150; for middle-class people, it's $250 to $300.
Food prices vary in each country; proportion and price. In some countries wherein resources ain’t that of a struggle, marketable goods including food won’t be expensive. Things still have something to do with demand and supply. Since I am on a third world country, food expenses aren’t that high but the proportion of foods differ from one restaurant to another. If I were to compare food serving especially with foreign countries, no doubts that ours would be smaller. The amount we are consuming and spending on a daily basis is a reflection of a country’s economies as well including leaders of the government which are running the regulation and to prevent prices to go up dramatically.
Would really indeed vary on which we know that there are countries which are rich on a certain supply or abundant when it comes to resources on a specific type and there are things which aren't.
Therefore, there would really be some potential importation into those needs which are lacking in exchange to have those export on which supply they are abundant on which the price or value
of those things will really be that depending on the supply and demand. Also, government would really be always having that price monitoring so that everything could really be in control so that
it wont really be ending up on being abused on which the citizens are the ones who do really suffer on conditions like this.

It would be always that ideal that if something that happens in terms of value then it wouldnt really be that an issue if you dont have that money problems or something that do talks
about financial. You cant really just that make yourself that being worried no matter how high the value of those commodoties would be able to reach out.
The dynamics of resource allocation and income among nations are difficult but fascinating. On the world market, countries that have certain resources have an edge, especially for export. Their trade and business are affected by this lack or presence. Environmental friendliness and moral sources add another dimension. As people become more concerned about the world, it becomes more important to manage resources well. Shouldn't we be serious about green energy? Solar, wind, and hydroelectric power can help us rely less on natural resources. This move might keep trade in check and stop people from overusing natural resources

You are right that the prices of goods do affect regular people. Lots of people are worried about it, especially in poorer places. What would happen if we put local industry and self-sufficiency first? Helping local businesses and farms grow helps keep prices stable and reduces the effects of changes in the global market. People need to be able to afford basic needs, not just have enough money to buy what they need. We lessen the effects of global market changes and help local economies grow

For lower-class people the monthly wage is around $150; for middle-class people, it's $250 to $300.
If food costs $2-$4 per meal, it will cost $6-12 per day. there, one person will spend $180-$360 per month. If one person costs $180-360, how much can it cost to run a family? Such expenses can be called huge expenses. Now almost all countries have high prices of food products, but in some countries, even though the prices of food products are high, there is a high level of income due to which both income and expenditure are minimised. Compared to other countries, the price of food products in Bangladesh is very low, but the per capita income here is also very low and that's why we think living in our country is very expensive.
Not really. The countries with high levels of income have a high cost of living. Even with a stable job and a good salary offer, people around the world try to find an additional job to come up with the cost of living. Based on your computation, a meal a day for an individual will cost around $12/day and up to $360 a month. It does not end there, there are other expenses and also the rent expense. You won't believe how high is the rent in other countries.

The minimum wage for non-agricultural workers in Metro Manila is approximately 10.89 USD, while for agricultural workers, it is around 10.23 USD. Specific jobs in some areas provide wages that are too low. Despite the difficulty in finding a job nowadays, there are still occupations that only pay around P300-P400, equivalent to 5.36-7.14 USD or even lower. If you dine at a fast food chain, a simple meal would cost you about 150 pesos or approximately 2.68 USD. However, when eating at a small business restaurant called "Karinderya," you can enjoy a dish on top of rice called "ambula" for only around 50 pesos or roughly 0.89 USD. In Metro Manila, many people rent a room for 5,000 pesos per month, which may or may not include electricity and water expenses if it's a condo unit of 18,000-20,000, around 321.94-357.71 USD. Some people share a room and split the rent with a roommate.

No, I am not looking for a solution to this problem because I am not capable of solving such a complex problem.
OK, and you don't need to look for solutions for the public, but at least for ourselves as an option to balance the complex problems that are occurring. That means this discussion is only for consideration to see the conditions and percentages of food prices in each country as a comparison.
No individual or group can provide solutions to overcome food problems, only the government has the authority to determine food prices to reduce the burden on society. The percentage of food prices in each country is always different, for example in country A the price of food is sold cheaply, maybe the price of ready-to-eat food is a little cheaper, and vice versa.

Yes, I have a prediction that the world will experience a food crisis in the next few years. I speculate that this will start in Europe. Maybe I will ask the same thing in the next few years to ask the same thing and how prices have changed or are still stable
The food problem is a fairly sacred condition because it is related to human life and when this sector experiences problems it will have a much more severe impact on inflation and recession. For example, when Covid-19 occurred and food shortages resulted in uncontrolled price increases and this would ultimately affect national economic stability. Because we are in the same country, perhaps the conditions that occurred during Covid-19 can be a reference for how our society can handle it.
The government can still implement a policy of importing food from other countries to overcome food problems. In countries with extensive agricultural levels and supported by abundant harvests, they will export food to other countries. This condition will be mutually beneficial in maintaining the economic stability of farmers and the survival of people in countries experiencing a food crisis.

This isn't much compared to many countries but what sets the price apart from other countries is their transportation and service costs. A rice plate with meat will not be the same price if they are served in two different place where one is a fancy restaurant and the other is a road side hotel. 

which are running the regulation and to prevent prices to go up dramatically.

In my country it's the politicians who are making decisions to raise the price and they are also running the government. In this case regulation is useless because there isn't any implementation of the law. The law is for those who are not with the government. A really corrupt country and its officials.

The only thing is that you spend less every month. While I'm on the internet, it's already 32 dollars; for food, it's around 65 dollars; since I have a motorcycle, I spend about 25 dollars on gasoline; and for unexpected costs, it's around 60 dollars; and house rent is 60 dollars per month.

My other billings, such as electricity and water bills, and liability assets that I pay, such as real estate and wages to housekeepers per buwab, are not included.
And with the increasing price of gasoline, that makes it more interesting when the swaying of price in the world crude oil because you don't know when they will increase again or decrease.
$65 for food per month is actually a tight budget if you ask me and are you single and all you need to budget is for yourself?
Because if you have a family, this could be a budget that you can't eat everything you want.
Earlier, my family used to spend about 80 dollars on food, but now the cost has increased to between 150 and 200 rupees. Sometimes the readily available things have to be bought at sky-high prices. Necessary things that we once bought for one dollar, sometimes those things have to be bought for 5 dollars. One of the ingredients in our food chart is eggs, it is better not to talk about these eggs because where earlier you could buy four eggs, now you have to spend the same amount of money to buy one egg. Not just eggs, but every commodity has gone up in price. Those who market will understand how much money it takes to fill the bank and market. The price of each thing seemed new to me, when the traders were told about these things, they excused the cost of transport and fuel.

I'm from Bangladesh, and the average income of a person is around 20–25k BDT (estimated 200–250 dollers). Although I have doubts if this number is true, there are a lot of people living below the average income because of the recent economic crisis.

Now if I say the living cost of one person, then below should be enough to get an idea.

1. Food: It's around 3000–4000 BDT (30–40 dollers) for a common person.

2. House: Living expenses can vary from place to place. Where I lived, I used to pay 5000 BDT (50 dollers) a month.

3. Transportation: Again, it varies, but 1200–1500 BDT (12–15 dollars) should be enough.

All the data is based on my own experience. I used to live alone. This number may be higher in other places in Bangladesh. Because in recent months, living costs have skyrocketed. Everything became too expensive. Even the daily goods.

In my country there are 3 parts based on time zones and each has different levels of living costs (the further away from the capital zone, the more expensive the cost of living).
I only take a comparison of fuel prices, say premium types (subsidized prices) as a need to drive business activity. According to the facts, the west zone (capital zone) is the cheapest at $0.64/liter, the central zone is around $2 to $4.5/liter, and the east zone is around $3.5 to $6.4/liter. The average price for 1 portion of food in all regions is usually equivalent to the price of 1 liter of this type of fuel. The average basic salary for employees in all regions is still below $300

Yes.. it depends on the area, but in my area it could be said to be relatively moderate.
However, there are also cheap and expensive ones, actually it's not cheap or expensive, but rather how much we can afford to buy them.
Even though it looks cheap, for those who have money it's possible, while those who can't afford it still say it's expensive.

The point is not expensive or cheap, but how much we can afford it.

I want to know about the cost of living and average income in each country. Can I ask that here?
The cost of living for most people may vary and depends on how much income they get from work because usually the cost of living will be balanced with our respective incomes. You are free to ask anything, but are there any conclusions that we can discuss here to provide a solution to the problem?

No, I am not looking for a solution to this problem because I am not capable of solving such a complex problem.
OK, and you don't need to look for solutions for the public, but at least for ourselves as an option to balance the complex problems that are occurring. That means this discussion is only for consideration to see the conditions and percentages of food prices in each country as a comparison.

Note: I don't need the tables issued by the government because they are usually different from the reality on the ground
I also want to know why you intend to know this price and whether it is related to the increase in the price of goods which continues to increase in the increasingly difficult economic situation in society.

Yes, I have a prediction that the world will experience a food crisis in the next few years. I speculate that this will start in Europe. Maybe I will ask the same thing in the next few years to ask the same thing and how prices have changed or are still stable

When you mention standard food, of course everyone has their own standard level. People who live in rural areas have different standards from people who live in urban areas, as well as people who have a mediocre economic level have different standards from rich people. It is very difficult to get accurate real information because the cost of living in different regions even within the same country varies. So what type of food do you mean by standard? especially since each person's standard level is different.

Price of food in my country is very expensive, this is because of lack of production due to lack of production materials and high cost of domestic gas, electricity price hike and costly nature of pms.
The citizens of my country is suffering because of the government deaf war towards things that are suppose to be in surplus so that the citizens and production companies both farmers can have access to it, I know that we are aware that their are mechanized farmers and for this people farming activities to function, they must need either of this aforementioned products, but when the get this products at a higher price that's to say that, they will have to increased the price of their product in other not to be at loss.
The price of food in my country does not have a fixed price because of the regulatory agency lapses, the pricing organization fail to do their job, so individuals can fix any price they want to sail their item without any interference.
If you ask me, I can not categorically sum the cost of this items and give you the exact amount.

I see you are from Indonesia, I also come from Indonesia I live in the capital with my monthly income of $230.
My living costs while living in the capital are quite expensive compared to living in the village.
1. Internet costs = $4/month
2. Transport (top up money) = $20/month (train + bus)
3. Food = $1/day (cook yourself) or $30/month
4. Boarding house = $50/month (outdoor bathroom)
5. Unexpected costs = $60/month

A month is never more than $180. There was even a record under $150 when I wanted to save money.

It seems that the rate of inflation in your country is very low because you can live in the capital of the country at such a low cost. What you spend living in the capital, we spend living in the village. If we start living in the capital of our country Pakistan, we can spend only one week with this amount of money.

Your food costs a dollar a day and if we wanted a dollar we could just eat breakfast. Now think about what our food bill will be in a month. We cannot say that the monthly income is better in your capital city, but it is slightly better than in our country. However, having less expenses than income means that inflation is lower and therefore time can be better spent on income, but more problems can arise where expenses exceeds income.

Actually, my country is not doing well, inflation is also happening. Prices of goods are increasing due to fuel increases. I say one dollar for food because I cook it myself and I'm still a bachelor so I think that's enough for a day. If I buy food outside of course one dollar is only enough for one meal a day.

We also depend on ourselves when it comes to living costs. If we spend a lot, even a large salary is not enough to cover a month's needs. That's why it's important to manage finances so that we are more careful in spending money, regardless of salary, we still save some profit. If you live in the capital, prestige is not enough, so use your money according to your needs, not your desires.

$65k per month? Not enough here in the Philippines, the cost of living here in very high as well but then the daily minimum wage is very low. And as Asian countries, our staple food is rice, and now that it also sky rocketed, even onions here was once like more than the price of gasoline because of some malpractice and corruption as there is also a cartel.

So very hard to have that kind of budget here, it's just 2 days budget for my family for food alone. Prices of basic commodities as well is very high like internet, house rent (although I don't pay rent), water and electricity. So everything is f**k up now. If you just rely on your regular 9-5 jobs and doesn't hassle, I don't think that you can survived here or in any other parts of the globe wherein the price of the basic necessities is going up.
Just only $65 mate, you excess that with "k". Smiley
I think in every Asian country, there's been a solid inflation rate that many can't keep up anymore and that's why every type of survival technique is being done.
That's true about relying on a 9-5 job, it's insufficient these times and that's why we see people having a lot of side hustles, not just 1 but more than 2 for the hardworking folks out there.
But I just want to know from those people in Thailand, because it seems that it's one of the cheapest country that's always been said if the locals will agree to that.
