He’s an idiot. The world if anything overproduces food.
Famine is caused by corruption, when the logistics and supply chain is disrupted.

I would add to that: Local war lords/party hacks/Union bosses use food as leverage.
Tribal fighting makes farming sporadic or impossible.
Inept and/or corrupt bureaucracy manages to make essential tools, supplies, seeds, spare parts either unavailable, grossly expensive or too late to do any good.
Of course, all of these were implied in your first statement. Absolutely correct!
