KYIV, June 14 - Ukraine calls on countries that have imposed restrictions on their own agricultural exports to reduce domestic inflation to refrain from such steps and ensure stable food supplies, while the obvious way to stop rising prices is to stop hostilities in Ukraine, Deputy Economy Minister - Trade Representative of Ukraine Taras Kachka said.
"We call on other states that have introduced export restrictions to reduce domestic inflation: we ask you to ensure the uninterrupted export of food products. By blocking exports, you make food less accessible," Ukraine said in a statement, which was announced by the trade representative during the 42nd meeting of ministers of the countries that are members of the Cairns Group within the framework of the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference in Geneva and published on Facebook.
