Devastating Food Crisis Blamed on War in Ukraine
News - Middle East: It is widely believed that the war in Ukraine is causing a global food crisis. But how could this be true?
Ukraine is one of the world's greatest exporters of wheat and corn by volume; however, most of its produce cannot leave the country due the current war with Russia, which is causing serious problems in places where they depend most on this supply such as the Middle East and Africa.
There are many ripple effects from the war, but it's hard to overstate just how big the impact of the grain crisis is.
Along with the shortages, you've also got the rising prices of fertilizers and fuel as well as national disasters due to climate change, like drought, which has only further worsened the situation on a global scale.
