EAM Jaishankar warns of ‘major food crisis’ in coming months
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has cautioned about an impending "major food crisis" in the months ahead, as he elaborated on the escalating fertilizer shortages resulting from the Ukraine and Iran conflicts. In a conversation at the Asia Society in New York, Jaishankar expressed "very very stressful" concerns over the Global South economies affected by these geopolitical tensions.
He stressed that the energy market is tight, and the geopolitical complexities in the oil supply sector are exacerbating the situation, leading to a "double crisis or an aggravated crisis."
