Tripoli, 21 March 2015:
Libya is at risk of experiencing a severe food shortage, Minister of Economy and Industry . . .[restrict]Muneer Ali Asr has warned.
Asr said that in the coming weeks reserves of staples such as flour will run out and he asked the House of Representatives intervene now and not wait until the reserves are gone to take action.
The manager of Libya’s state Price Stability Fund, Jamal Shibani, warned last month that Libya’s grain reserve supplies would be depleted within two to three months.
