January 30, 2023


A Commod Africa article reports in the weeks following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, export restrictions, and/or suspension measures on several agricultural products were put in place by some countries.

From July, the amount of trade affected by export restrictions fell to 7.3 percent and remained largely at this level for the balance of the year 2022.
