London-SABA
Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Dr. Afrah al-Zouba took part on Wednesday in a high-level session organized by the United Kingdom in cooperation with the African Development Bank Group to discuss the repercussions of the Iran crisis on fertilizer markets, global food security, and the required international response, on the sidelines of the Global Partnerships Conference currently being held in London.
The session brought together British Foreign Office Minister Nick Dyer, President of the African Development Bank Group Dr. Sidi Ould Tah, several African ministers responsible for development and finance, along with representatives of the Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Food Programme, the World Bank, international financial institutions, and private sector representatives.
Discussions focused on the structural effects of the crisis on global supply chains for fertilizers, fuel, and food, amid a nearly 30 percent decline in global fertilizer trade and a surge of more than 30 percent in urea prices.
