The head of the UN's FAO in Russia: It is impossible to exclude Russia from the FAO
Oleg Kobyakov, director of the FAO Moscow office, said in an interview with Sputnik that the statute of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization does not provide for the exclusion or loss of rights of any country.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations believes it is important to maintain interaction with Russia.
Oleg Kobyakov said that in the context of the current global food crisis, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization called for an analysis of sanctions policy and careful consideration of the desirability of maintaining restrictive measures, including those against Russia.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations firmly opposes any sanctions and restrictive trade measures.
The world food market is a monumental achievement of mankind, a complex and sufficiently harmonious system.
Anything that disrupts this balance is a step backwards, which will lead to price increases, worsen the economic situation of the relevant region, country, and region, and set humanity back on the path of sustainable development.
Regrettably, sanctions often hit those classes not intended by the initiators.
Oleg Kobyakov believes that no country in the world can replace Russia and Ukraine in food supply in a short period of time.
The problem of grain shipments from Ukraine, which has accumulated 4.5 million tons, is being gradually resolved.
Oleg Kobyakov added that up to a third of Ukraine's population is currently in need of emergency food aid.
Within the framework of the United Nations humanitarian action in Ukraine worth a total of US$1.7 billion, the scale of food aid from the World Food Programme will reach US$800 million.
In addition, it is now difficult to predict how long the aftermath of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict will affect Ukrainian agriculture, and if the military operation ends on July 1, it could take up to a year and a half for Ukraine to return to its previous output.
