PEER REVIEW
The Policy Brief has rightly pointed out the government's failure to maintain the
price equilibrium and protect the poor people from the consequences of the
price surge. The title clearly illustrates the problem, and the policy brief goes on
to justify the claim. The problem of rising food prices has been mentioned and
the people affected by this crisis. Poor people bear the brunt of a sharp increase
in price as they live on a minimal budget. The existing policies are mentioned as
to how the government is tackling the crisis and its effectiveness in bringing
down the prices. The policies presented were weak and did not prevent the crisis
effectively, and the poor people were severely affected. The policy of involving
the private sector worked and was the most decisive policy action.
The recommendations presented to prevent the crisis are well actionable and
practical. Implementing these policies will reap the benefits and control the
prices. The author has supported the claims with evidence from credible sources
with proper referencing and in-text citation. The policy brief is well directed
towards the appropriate policymakers and executives. It is written in simple
words precisely with proper heading, titles, and sub-headings that look
appealing and clear. The policy brief has some grammar mistakes; otherwise, it
is written in appropriate manner.
