This is where Ukraine exported food in 2019.
The US is absolutely secure for food. If there is a global shortage it will be mostly African countries that feel it.
How much grain do we get from the Ukraine? Any?

“How much grain do we get from the Ukraine? Any?”
It does not matter a whit.
Grain, like oil is a worldwide commodity and traded on international markets.
Whatever a bushel costs in Somalia, it costs the same in Chicago.
So Price will allocate and ration it. In many countries governments will intervene to subsidize. And the US government will purchase $billions$ to ship overseas to poor countries everywhere...further driving up the price as demand will remain constant.
But you will pay full price.
Thereby the American consumer will subsidize the cost of food worldwide and a loaf of Wonder Bread will be $6m, a dozen eggs $7. Same for a gallon of milk.
Plant every square inch of your yard. And include calorie dense staples...beans...potatoes...etc.
Because the biscuits and tortillas won’t be cheap. And a basic chicken could be as high as $12.
In a recent special on Ukraine and the world food crisis, it was pointed out that Ukraine has enough grain stored to feed 400,000,000 people for a year. It is all stored in Odessa grain elevators, and Russia is not letting it out. It was reported that a number of very poor countries are already on half rations, and starvation is a real possibility without this grain supply. Ukraine is a major supplier of sunflower seed oil, which is now in major short supply throughout the world. Putin is apparently planning to have people in eastern Ukraine grow crops which will then be taken away to Russia.
