This report is Confirmed false
and is of
Low Priority.
Here is why -
The newspaper headline that was circulating around with this rumour is from April 2018. That article had been based on "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2017" report. Find that report here: http://www.fao.org/3/I7695e/I7695e.pdf. However, as per "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021" report Sri Lanka is in the fifth place. The current order is as follows: Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Iran, Nepal.
