Freedom from Hunger Campaign - 4 buqsha
This stamp was issued in 1963 by the Yemen Arab Republic (Y.A.R.) (الجمهورية العربية اليمنية) as part of the worldwide Freedom from Hunger Campaign (الحملة الدولية لمكافحة الجوع). The design features ears of corn and wheat alongside the official emblem of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO Fiat Panis) and the United Nations seal.
Launched in 1960 by the FAO, the global initiative aimed to mobilize international action, modernize agricultural production, and eradicate chronic malnutrition across developing nations. By releasing this commemorative issue shortly after the 1962 revolution, the young Yemen Arab Republic signaled its commitment to international cooperation, rural agricultural development, and addressing national food security challenges.
