NUSA DUA, Indonesia: Indonesian Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati on Friday called for a joint forum involving G20 finance and agriculture ministries to come up with concrete action to tackle growing food insecurity and a looming fertiliser supply crisis.

Sri Mulyani said the world was facing alarming global hunger due to war, export restrictions and the lingering effect of the pandemic. The risk of a fertiliser supply crisis could exacerbate the food crisis even into 2023 and beyond, she said. "The G20 has successfully been doing this for finance and health ... we do hope the same thing can be also established by strengthening our ability to mobilise not only financing, but most importantly policy coordination across countries and supported by international organisations," Sri Mulyani said.US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen at the same meeting called on G20 members to boost their spending to address existing food security challenges.
