Countries vow to boost food security amid Ukraine war

GENEVA, May 6 (AFP): The European Union, the United States and more than two dozen other countries vowed Friday to shore up global food security in a joint statement to the World Trade Organization.
Voicing alarm at the "global effects on food security" triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, they stressed "the urgency and importance of maintaining open and predictable agricultural markets and trade".
That would "ensure the continued flow of food, as well as products, services and inputs essential for agricultural and food production and supply chains", they added.
