WTO: WTO meeting may lead to ban on export of food products – Times of India

New Delhi: Export restrictions on food products imposed by India and around 20 other countries are expected to come into force during world trade organization At the ministerial meeting beginning on Sunday, several members demanded a ban on such restrictions.
The issue is part of security discussions currently underway, being faced by several countries, particularly for wheat, as the Ukraine-Russia conflict has affected supplies from both countries.
after an important meeting of general Council In Geneva, a WTO spokesman said members of the multilateral agency that sets global trade rules are trying to ensure that markets are kept open while ensuring members have the right to meet their domestic needs.
The spokesman said the rules allow members to impose restrictions to the extent necessary to meet their critical food shortages, but this has emerged as a concern that can be addressed.
While many members of the WTO, led by Singapore, whose airline carries grain, are demanding that food safety concerns be addressed world food programIndia believes that the scheme will not meet the requirements. Further, New Delhi has said that it is being unjustifiably attacked for the restrictions imposed by it last month, which were meant to meet domestic requirements in the wake of low production and fall in procurement.
