Could Russia’s invasion of Ukraine trigger a global food crisis? | Inside Story
Russia's war on Ukraine has created fears of a global food crisis. The two countries supply a third of the world's wheat, and are major exporters of barley, corn and sunflower oil. Fighting has disrupted exports, leading to record prices. Many countries in the Middle East and Africa depend on importing wheat from Russia and Ukraine.
