Combined, Ukraine and Russia produce nearly 30 percent of the world's wheat and barley, as well as a fifth of the world's corn and over half of its sunflower oil, according to the United Nations.
The United Nations' World Food Programme announced in an April report that the number of people experiencing acute hunger will rise by 33 million to 47 million people because of the conflict in Ukraine. The report expects countries in sub-Saharan Africa to be the most affected by the disruption.
Africa relies on Russia and Ukraine for more than 40 percent of its wheat imports. Tanzania, Rwanda and Senegal import 60 percent of their wheat from the two countries, with Somalia and Benin relying entirely upon them for whea

Telling Africans to stop buying and trading stolen goods? Maybe we should try that in Democrat run cities first, just to see how that works out.
Brandon decrees that beggars must be choosers.
I see a big FU coming for this idea. When you’re starving the stolen wheat and not stolen wheat probably taste a hell of a lot alike. Just saying.
Sounds a bit a racist to me.
Sounds like liberal compassion to me. It usually results in death.
First, if you go on Marine Traffic you’ll see a bunch of ships clustered around the entrance to the Sea of Azov and nearly nothing in the sea itself. Probably because the ships are illegally turning off their AIS to avoid giving away the fact that they’re violating sanctions.
Most of the ships departing the sea southbound are Russian. Others are of various flags of convenience.
What now remains to be seen is if these ships are intercepted, boarded, inspected, and seized for carrying contraband. That can happen in Turkey at the strait or in the Med where NATO forces can get at these thieves.
So dumb... I can see the photo of starving children in Africa with a “I did that” sticker on it.
What’s Biden going to do steal food from Africa?
At least they can starve to death with a clean conscience.
Which U.S. idiot is saying that? Maybe he should try poisoning the grain just to make sure.
Is our own baby formula food crisis over already? Nope. But the coverage is. Seem like God is judging America to me.
I’ve heard a liberal advise others to not feed the homeless. Let them get jobs if they want to survive, she said.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they proposed euthanizing them.
The Biden admin approach would be “We didn’t see it coming. We can’t do anything about that. It will get better.”
“Telling Africans to stop buying and trading stolen goods?”
If that works in Minneapolis with the ghetto animals, I’m all ears..
“Warns”?
smh
How are they going to distinguish the original Russian export from “stolen” export? As a side note, the “stolen” wheat is going to get exported by the same farmers. If they are under Russian jurisdiction right now it doesn’t change much. What should they do? Do they expect them to stop farming and selling wheat if they aren’t Ukrainian anymore? Now tell me who wants famine. It is obviously not Russia.
When I was a little kid - mid 1950’s...2nd & 3rd grade, I collected change, hitting up my relatives for UNICEF to help the “starving pagan babies” in africa.
They are still starving 66 years later ? whatever is being done isn’t working.
We were sending food when we should have been sending birth control.
