Russians eat a lot of crap. Lower grade fruit/veg, high fat pork/beef, etc. Exporters of that stuff will have a problem since nobody else wants that garbage. All the high quality stuff will be easily absorbed by other markets. Putinists are whistling past the graveyard on this one because only the Russian people will be hurt.

Yep —

A lot of it rots in Russian ports with Russia workers refusing to unload it as Russian thieves continue to negotiate for a lower price.

And most of this thievery is subsidized by loans from the World Bank that are never paid back.
