Ukraine: UN, food price is number one issue at the moment

(ANSA) – NEW YORK, MAY 19 – “We are truly in an unprecedented crisis. The price of food is our number one problem right now. But in 2023 there will be a problem of food availability. When a country like ‘Ukraine, which grows enough food for 400 million people, is out of business, creates market volatility, which we are now seeing. “

This was stated by the head of the World Food Program, David Beasley, at the meeting of the UN Security Council chaired by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

“Failure to open ports in the Odessa region will be a declaration of war on global food security – he added – and will result in famine, destabilization and mass migration around the world”. (HANDLE).
