ISLAMABAD, March 23: Federal Minister for National Food Security and Research Syed Fakhar Imam Wednesday said that the Russia-Ukraine war had created a worldwide food crisis as the two countries exported 30 per cent of the world’s wheat. “The vaccine, being imported from abroad, for curing Lumpy Skin disease in the cattle, will reach Pakistan in seven days,” the federal minister told a private television channel on Wednesday. He added that the farmers would be given subsidy for Kharif crop. “The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) has taken important decisions, including the cotton prices,” he said and added that 38 per cent of the Pakistan’s labour force and 53 per cent of the industry’s raw materials depended on agriculture. – NNI
