“If everyone starts to impose export restrictions or to close markets, that would worsen the crisis,” German agriculture minister Cem Ozdemir told the news agency AFP.
On Friday, India announced a ban on wheat exports with immediate effect. Agriculture ministers from the G7 industrialised nations, condemned India’s decision. India has cited a heatwave for imposing a ban on exporting the grain.
At a press conference in Stuttgart on the same day, chairman Ozdemir called on India “to assume its responsibility as a G20 member”.
The ban was announced as part of measures to control rising domestic prices in an effort to avoid domestic tensions over rising food and energy costs as witnessed in Sri Lanka currently.
G7 ministers urged countries around the globe not to take restrictive action that could further add stress on food supplies, but India’s retail inflation has already spiked to an eight-year high in April due to rising prices of fuel and food items.

It wasn’t too long ago that India announced plans to increase its agricultural production so that it could replace Ukraine as a grain exporter. It looks like that is being put on hold.
This Turk Ozdemir, who is the agriculture minister of Germany, says that India keeping its wheat at home will help “worsen the crisis”. Keeping Indian wheat at home for consumption in India by Indians won’t worsen the crisis for India at all. That is why the Indian government is ending exportation of it – the Indian government actually, to some extent, looks out for the best interests of the Indian people. This is in utter contrast to the Western governments, which act in diametric opposition to their own people. Example: The government of Germany has been importing nonwhites, to replace the white Germanic people who are the indigenous people of Germany. This is how an alien person like the Turk Cem Ozdemir got to be agriculture minister of Germany.
This is a well known problem with globalization, to protect their own people this could happen. Interesting since politicians usually get rich playing with maxing out globalization. Guess we will see how this plays out…
