Germany intends to help countries that may face the problem of hunger due to events in Ukraine, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said this at an event in Düsseldorf on the occasion of May Day.»Now we we have to worry that there will be those who will starve, that there are countries that can no longer afford to buy grain for their population … We will not abandon these poor countries, we will support them,» dpa quoted Scholz as saying. According to the chancellor, now Ukraine, being one of the main suppliers of grain, is largely limited in its ability to export. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) previously reported that world food prices jumped 12.6% in March, record since at least 1990. This was due to record price increases for vegetable oils, cereals and meat and a significant increase in prices for sugar and dairy products. Thus, the price index for vegetable oil (sunflower, palm, soybean and rapeseed) increased by 23.2% compared to February, for cereals — by 17.1%, including wheat (by 19.7%), sugar — by 6.7%.
