The Director General of the Economic and Social Development Council, Mahmoud Al-Futaisi, stated exclusively to our source during the launch of the dialogue session on the global economic crisis and its repercussions on the Libyan economy, saying: “The aim is how we can come up with a plan to avoid the effects of the global economic crisis on the situation in Libya, especially with regard to food.”
He added: “We stressed the importance of the food security strategy, and we miss this real plan, as we are a rentier country that depends on oil and imports. We do not have a large production, and this crisis has raised the alarm. We have to think of alternatives to avoid falling into the prohibitions.”
