I am not sure that's entirely correct.
India for example, where rice is the staple food has one big problem for feeding people. And it doesn't seem to be having not enough rice. The problem seems to be infrastructure. IIRC India in raw numbers is totally able to feed everyone using just their own production. But there are literally tons of rice rotting away being unable to reach the people in need because of the bad infrastructure.
