“Official data collected by a joint centre in Istanbul monitoring the deal’s implementation showed 30 percent of the grain reaching “low and lower-middle income countries”.
Data compiled as of Wednesday and released to AFP showed Turkey receiving the largest share of the grain — 20 percent — followed by Spain (15 percent) and Egypt (10 percent).
But much of the grain that reaches Turkey and some other destinations is then re-sold under commercial agreements not monitored by the Istanbul centre.
A separate famine relief effort spearheaded by the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) is focused on delivering wheat and maize to Africa and other parts of the world suffering shortages...”
Putin is probably correct.

Apparently Pooty doesn’t realize how the global grain market works.
He’s caused a global shortage to worsen.
Unless the grain comes under firm control of a non-corrupt humanitarian organization or a gov’t acting as such, even if it is sold to a poor country, it may get resold (sometimes multiple times) and end up with the high bidders until they have enough to meet their needs.
