> Kirill Logvinov, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Department of International Organizations, told a World Food Security Committee meeting in Rome that Western coercive trade practices had driven up food costs, leaving about a third of the world’s population unable to afford high-quality products. He said prices had risen 25% in five years and more than 600 million people still faced hunger.
