EU joins U.S. chorus to blame India
London: The European Union too has jumped on the U.S. bandwagon to target India and China for driving food prices worldwide.
EU Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural development Mariann Fischer Boel on Tuesday said change in dietary habits in India and China was responsible for the spiralling global food prices.
“Those who see biofuels as the driving force behind recent food price increases have overlooked not just one elephant standing right in front of them, but two. The first elephant is the huge increase in demand from emerging countries like China and India. These countries are eating more meat.”
Ms. Boel’s comments came days after U.S. President George W Bush joined Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in ascribing the spiralling prices to the rising prosperity of India’s huge middle class. — PTI
