Turkiye's Ex-Premier: Global Food Crisis Knocking At The Door
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
By News Center
The world is on the verge of a global food crisis, Yeni Shafak
newspaper reports per Binali Yildirim, Turkiye's former prime
minister and AK Party Deputy Chairman.
Yildirim made the remarks at the 25th Eurasian Economic Summit,
organized by the Marmara Group Foundation on the theme of 'Doing
Better Again,' according to the paper.
“The world today is on the eve of the global food crisis. The
increase in energy prices, especially in natural gas and oil, over
the recent year has turned the economic indicators of all countries
upside down,” Yildirim stressed.
He stated that the Eurasian geography, which provides the
world's population with energy, natural resources, agriculture, and
food, should be associated with growth in welfare, peace, and
brotherhood rather than conflicts, terrorism, and immigration.
“A fair distribution of regional resources among its population
will minimize conflicts. In particular, Russia and Ukraine provided
more than one-third of the world's needs for food before this war.
The supply chain was disrupted during the pandemic. Prices
skyrocketed. Also, when the Russian-Ukrainian crisis started, the
food issue took precedence over many others,” he added.
The event was attended by 15 presidents, three of whom are still
in office, as well as prime ministers, ministers, ambassadors,
deputies, governors, and mayors from 42 nations.
