Any \u201cunjustified\u201d containment measure that leads to food spikes on international markets, or has potential to restrict food access in vulnerable countries could ultimately lead to a refugee crisis mirroring that of 2016, WFP chief economist Arif Husain said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One threat to food stability came from a Russian wheat cut-off this week, but only temporarily: <\/strong>Russia, the world\u2019s largest wheat supplier, has temporarily suspended grain shipments to all but four nearby former Soviet countries as it seeks to ensure adequate domestic supply, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-04-26\/world-is-running-out-of-russian-wheat-when-some-want-it-most?sref=mmeFTDW1\">reports Bloomberg<\/a>.

If conditions in Black Sea countries, GASC\u2019s favorite source markets, worsens, this could imply the state grain buyer will need to rush to stockpile the crop quicker than initially planned, says the business information service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Measures such as the Russian ban are examples of what G20 agriculture and food ministers <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/af.reuters.com\/article\/egyptNews\/idAFD5N29G00Y\">warned against<\/a><\/strong> in a virtual meeting last Tuesday as \u201cunnecessary barriers to trade\u201d that should be avoided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are we at risk of a \u201chunger pandemic\u201d?
