At the first of this year’s agriculture negotiations meetings on 16-17 January, Ambassador Alparslan Acarsoy of Türkiye, the Chair of the talks, urged delegates to focus “more specifically and concretely” on potential outcomes at the upcoming 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13), which is due to be held in Abu Dhabi from 26 to 29 February. Participants also discussed new or revised submissions on export restrictions on food; agricultural production and trade in net food importing developing countries (NFIDCs) and least developed countries (LDCs); and domestic support to the agricultural sector.
