Food crisis looming - Macron

Macron has moved on to warning about a looming food crisis, Ukraine and Russia are both major exporters of staple foods but production has been severely disrupted by the war.

He says some countries, including some of those in the Middle East and North Africa, are particularly dependent on Ukrainian and Russian exports.

The situation will be even worse in a year to 18 months, he says, as Ukrainian farmers are unable to sow new crops.
