MOSCOW - - President Dmitry Medvedev said the development of bio energy should not lead to a shortage of food grain in the world.

"I would like to state my position clearly in respect to a sharp growth of grain prices due to the production of bioethanol," the president said, speaking at the opening of the World Grain Forum in St. Petersburg on Saturday.

"We call for the production of bio fuel from other non-food products ... and think that the international community should work out a balanced decision and find a compromise between energy and food security," he said.
