UN Admits Russian Exports Can Solve Global Food Crisis

NEW YORK – Food and fertilizer products from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus must be allowed on world markets if the global community is to stem the ongoing food crisis.

The statement was made by the Secretary General of the United Nations (UN) Antonio Guterres at a ministerial meeting on global food security on Wednesday (18/5/2022).

“Let’s be clear, there is no more effective solution to the food crisis without the reintegration of Ukrainian food production, as well as food and fertilizers produced by Russia and Belarus, into the world market,” he stressed.
