UN agency in talks with India on wheat procurement amid Ukraine war

-PTI/ The Hindu

World Food Programme report talks of a three-dimensional crisis — food, energy and finance

The United Nations’ World Food Programme (WFP) has said that it is in discussions with India on procurement of wheat as several countries face food security challenges amid the Ukraine war.

“We are in discussions with India on procurement of wheat. So, that is something which is ongoing,” the WFP’s Chief Economist Arif Husain said at a news conference here on Wednesday.

He was responding to a question on India having a huge surplus of wheat and whether the organisation was doing anything to utilise this stockpile with India as the Russia-Ukraine war has exacerbated the global food security situation.

To a different question on whether restrictions by the World Trade Organisation over how much India can export should be suspended amid the current emergency, Mr. Husain said one of their recommendations is about exemption of the WFP from export bans.
