Outlook (India) published an article stating that wheat prices have increased by around 42 percent in weeks following the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Senior research fellow David Laborde told National Geographic, “The biggest threat the food system is facing is the disruption of the fertilizer trade.
