BERLIN—Germany will host a virtual meeting of agricultural ministers from G7 countries on Friday to discuss the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on global food security and how to best stabilize food markets, the government said.

“The provision of foodstuffs in Germany and the European Union is safe but greater shortages can be expected in some countries outside the EU—especially where scarcity already reigns today due to issues like drought,” German Agriculture Minister Cem Oezdemir said in statement.
