The Russian invasion has caused prices to rise sharply and pose a threat to food security.
More than 275 million people worldwide have been exposed to acute food shortages due to the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine. This was stated by US Treasury Secretary Janet Ellen, writes Reuters.
She added that she was deeply concerned about the impact of Russia's war against Ukraine on global food prices and supplies. She plans to discuss possible solutions to help “the poorest people who spend most of their income on food.”
“International development banks have provided funding to strengthen domestic food production, support social safety nets and unblock trade finance, but they also needed to make long-term investments to address key vulnerabilities in food systems,” she said. > According to her, the Russian invasion has led to a sharp rise in commodity prices, increasing global inflationary pressures and threatening energy and food security, trade flows and the external balance in many countries.
Earlier Belarus imposed a ban for export of salt, sugar, flour and pasta.
