G20 Agricultural Deputies met in Ankara on 23rd March to begin preparation of the meeting of G20 Agriculture Ministers on 8th May. The main focus was on developing the draft of the communiqué the ministers will release. May’s meeting will be only the second meeting of G20 Agriculture Ministers – the first was in 2011 under the French Presidency. It will be a major political event in the G20 calendar and an integral part of the Turkish Presidency. It is expected to play an important role in achieving policy coherence and driving progress on major global issues in agriculture and food security.
