“We recognize the critical humanitarian support provided by the World Food Programme, made more urgent in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and other crises,” the group said in their statement, available here. “We therefore commit to not impose export prohibitions or restrictions on foodstuffs purchased for non-commercial humanitarian purposes by the World Food Programme.”

Discussions regarding export restrictions on food purchases by the WFP have been taking place in the WTO's Committee on Agriculture in Special Session as well as the General Council.

The WFP is the United Nations agency charged with delivering food assistance in emergencies and combatting hunger.
