Lebanon's government has banned the export of some locally-produced foods, the state news agency reported on Friday.

The export ban includes items such as processed fruits and vegetables, milled grain products, sugar, bread, and some types of alcohol.

The ban also covers animal feed.

Russia's intensifying war in Ukraine has created fears that any shortages would lead to food insecurity in Lebanon.
