Director-General of IOFS H. E. Yerlan A. Baidaulet

“As we all know that 2020 has been an unprecedented and challenging period that has affected
all parts of the world especially the OIC region with the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent
drawbacks. The global food systems have been tested by both environmental and biological
factors that reflect the urgent need for a more resilient, strong and powerful food system
that can bear the responsibility at national, regional, and international level. The first and
immediate global reaction to COVID19 was having in place all the measures for an appropriate
lockdown and closing borders to protect all countries from the spread of the pandemic. Such
action affects the flow of food supplies, disturbs the food chain and leaves farmers facing
challenges without support.

«According to the WFP and an estimated 265 million people could be pushed to the brink of
starvation by the end of this year. The food we need should be nutritional, safe, Halal and
enough for everybody.”
