G20 ministers meet to tackle price volatility in food markets

Agricultural ministers from the G20 group of leading nations are due to meet in Paris on June 22-23rd to discuss an initiative that aims to reduce volatility in agricultural commodity markets.

The meeting comes after the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation released its twice yearly Food Outlook analysis, saying that rising demand will absorb most of the increased output in food production. It also outlined expectations for prices to remain at the high levels established earlier this year.
