Jaishankar Warns of Global Food Crisis Amid Conflicts and Supply Chain Disruptions
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar warned at a New York Asia Society event that ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Iran-Gulf region, combined with disruptions in grain shipments, fertiliser shortages, and energy market pressures, risk triggering a major global food crisis. He highlighted the fragility of global supply chains, geopolitical tensions, and the compounding effects of climate factors like a potential Super El Niño. Jaishankar emphasized the challenges for developing nations, noting that economic interdependence coexists with intense competition, making diplomacy increasingly complex.
