The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has a special meeting to discuss the recent rise in food prices. The food agency is to the recent announcement made by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to his country's ban on wheat exports. Droughts by a prolonged heatwave have a lot of Russia’s wheat production and the Russian government is on feeding its own people. Putin’s extension fears that the price of food around the world would rise. Mr Putin did not indicate when he would the ban. It was originally intended to run until 31 December. In his revised statement, he said it would not be before next year's had been reaped.

The U.N. fears rising prices will bring about food in many countries, similar to those that place in 2008. There has already been in Mozambique, where police opened fire and killed seven people demonstrating over a 30 per cent in bread prices. Rises will hurt the pockets more of those in countries, where most of a person’s income can on food. FAO economist Abdolreza Abbassian told the BBC: "Food prices, and wheat in , are so important for food and even the political stability of countries. Even a small increase in the price of food, which is so to them, can spark a problem." Economists say food prices are expected to by at least 10 per cent in most countries.
