Agriculture ministers from G8 nations are due to meet later this month in northern Italy. The meeting was prompted by last year's spike in the prices of agricultural commodities, including wheat and rice, which triggered riots in more than 30 countries, from Bangladesh to Haiti.

八国集团的农业部长们将于本月晚些时候在意大利北部开会。去年小麦和大米等大宗农产品价格大幅上涨，在从孟加拉到海地的30多个国家引发骚乱，促成了这次会议的召开。
