BBC World Service - Business Daily, Counting the cost of Iftar

We find out how the rising price of food is affecting Muslims around the world.

As the price of food increases, we speak to Muslims to find out how it has affected their Iftar - the fast-breaking evening meal during the holy month of Ramadan. It is often a lavish family meal, but price rises mean that people are having to make changes. 

We hear from women in Somalia, Canada, Pakistan and the UK who are all facing a slightly different Ramadan, and Eid, this year. 

Presented by Emb Hashmi with reporting from Ahmed Adan
