IEidiseis.gr (Greece) published an article stating that from food shortages on supermarket shelves to the frantic rise in fuel prices, the entire planet has been hit by the war in Ukraine, the end of which is still looming on the horizon. It is a fact that Russia’s embargo on Ukrainian ports, combined with subsequent Western sanctions on Moscow, has led to a dramatic rise in food prices, raising fears of cereal shortages and the culmination of global hunger. Ukraine, along with Russia, produces one-third of the world’s grain and about 25 percent of the world’s barley, according to IFPRI. (See the blog post, How will Russia’s invasion of Ukraine affect global food security?) Exports from these two countries make up 12% of the total caloric value traded by mankind.
