The negative impact on global food security of sanctions against Belarusian potash fertilizers
26.09.2023Addendum to the information note on the negative impact on global food security of sanctions against Belarusian potash fertilizers, issued as document A/77/978 of the United Nations General Assembly
Statistics cited by United Nations agencies show that world hunger continues to worsen.
Today, more than ever, joint efforts must be focused as soon as possible on addressing all of the factors that contribute to the spread of hunger.
Belarus had always made a substantial contribution to ensuring global food security. It exports agricultural products and food to more than 100 countries around the world. However, the illegal sanctions policy of Western countries against Belarus is leading to extremely negative consequences for global food security. Belarus, at various levels and forums, has repeatedly drawn attention to the fact that such unilateral coercive measures by Western countries increase food risks.
