The food security crisis could kill more people than Covid has, says Senegal minister at G-20
Senegalese Minister of Economy Amadou Hott has urged the global food industry not to boycott the trade of Russian and Ukrainian food products as the food crisis rages on in vulnerable countries.
Hott said at the Group of 20 meeting of financial leaders in Bali last week that without immediate resolution, the crisis — which involves both a food shortage and high prices — would kill more people "than during Covid times."
But climate change, too, has contributed to the problem over time, not just the war and the pandemic. $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ $Food Shortage (BK2649)$ $Chicago SRW Wheat Futures(SEP4) (ZWmain.US)$ $Corn Futures(DEC4) (ZCmain.US)$
