  Do I need to just repeat what I said or what?
context: Ukraine grew a shitload of wheat. And a lot of it went south, to Africa and the Middle East. 
  Always in the top ten producers over the last decade or so, and they outproduce us (Australia) the last few years, with nearly double the output. They're around about the same production as France and Germany.
  With both Russia and Ukraine off the table, IIRC the world supply of a wheat has dropped by 25% from before the war. And that's just wheat, not including other grains or staples like sunflower oil. >
  
  Dont forget fertilizer, which has a flow on effect to all sorts of other crops .. both in fertile regions like Brazil and in borderline regions like Africa >
  
  Brazil is supposed to already have began seeing climate related troubles growing their expected quotas of coffee from what I hear, but I'm not sure if Ukrainian fertilizer, or a lack thereof, would be game changing for them? >
  
  Most food supply and production issues have a domino effect. If a source gets removed or limited, then the other existing sources get the burden, dividing resources further.
  The invasion of Ukraine has and will continue to have a direct and indirect effect on food production for quite awhile, even if it magically went back to how things were, because theres already a deficit for certain areas that returning to normal levels wouldn't fix it outright. >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 56%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the world for greater determination and cooperation to stop the aggressive actions that are disrupting the international food market.
  For Africa, for countries like Ethiopia or Sudan, this means empty tables for thousands and thousands of families.... "This means that the world needs more determination and more cooperation to stop the aggressive actions that are disrupting the food market. To stop any nation that blockades the sea and destroys food supply chains. To bring to justice any tyrant who tries to make famine an instrument of his policy."
  Zelenskyy called on countries to join the Grain from Ukraine initiative and the initiative to create food hubs in African countries, as well as to implement the Ukrainian peace formula.

  What about food from Russia? >
  
  No. >
  
  The world would also like to add that the seller's of produce need to STOP FUCKING AROUND WITH THE PRICES. Sincerely. >
  
  I really admire Zelenskyy. He will not let the world forget whats going on in Ukraine right now. Relentlessly urging the world to see that it affects them also. Even facing horrible loses to his population, destruction of infrastructure and lives, having to beg for every bullet, he will still not lose hope and keep believing in the final victory. >
  
  Of course he is not going to stop talking.  Ukraine is entirely reliant on western aid.  If they stop sending weapons the country would fold to russia in weeks. >
  
  I mean…that was the agreement when they willingly gave up their nukes, was it not? >
  
  Zelenskyy doesn’t have to keep pointing out how it affects the rest of the world — but he does. He isn’t afraid to keep shaming the world but also waking them up with facts. A great leader, in my opinion. >
  
  Might be cheaper for the rest of the world to point a missile at Russia & tell them to stop or else. >
  
  Cheaper in some ways, much more expensive in others. 
  At the end of the day, current Russian anti-sanction efficiency is incredibly low. Not buying from them, re-diversifying and sending old weapons that are somehow still better than Russia's stuff to Ukraine is super cheap, and more importantly almost risk free,  compared to what you are suggesting >
  
  I always used to hear as a kid that the world produced more than enough food for all of its people
  But that people still starve every day bc of how unevenly the distribution is
  As the means to move resources improve this problem needs to start being dealt with more. >
  
  Puti's genocidal acts have far reaching consequences for millions of people. And he's basking in its horror. He's worse than a Nazi. The Salton of Chaos! King of Mordor. >
  
  It's like we're being price gouged on a global scale, how much money do these greedy fucks need? Is it even just about money? >
  
  Price of gas has gone up, effecting transport costs.
  People are no longer sourcing their goods from the most convenient locations (which leads to higher price per unit and increased transport costs again)
  Fertilizer is in short supply due to sanctions and increased cost to make which makes produce more expensive to grow and has cut the overall supply of said produce.
  Many things are contributing to the increased cost, not just greed and profiteering. >
  
  While you're technically correct, they're increasing prices to keep corporate profits the same. They could simply reduce those profits and keep costs the same for consumers but that can't be allowed to happen >
  
  If producers were to sell below market prices, then scalpers would just step in and take those profits. >
  
  We should probably ask ourselves why we need an international food market to sustain local communities >
  
  So you haven’t taken a basic economics class then >
  
  Tell that to Nestle who uses proceeds from wars to up sales like creating new factory in Ukraine then goes
  And gives the money earned to find arms deals and groups like Israeli  Intelligence, Wagner Group. Look at their websites.  You have to deep dove but it’s worth it

  I agree we should have already kicked Russia out of Ukraine. >
  
  Man of the year 2023 anyone? >
  
  I don’t think you can be man of the year twice in a row >
  
  First time for eveything >
  
  Leave our Africa out of your hypocritical equation! >
  
  I thought this guy was on the frontline fighting, is he like the new world president or something? Sure are giving him a lot of money and airtime >
  
  Zelenskyy is SBF on steroids.  Where did our $85 billion go? >
  
  This is a worthless war (to those who don’t run it) being used to push multiple goals. Both sides are controlled by the same ”international clique.” >
  
  "Both sides"ing a war of aggression is about the dumbest thing I've seen on this site all week >
  
  We say that for literally every conflict that doesn't involve us. The majority of the world doesn't follow NATO narrative.
  PS: We (the United States) have been waging wars of aggression for decades. Each time the public believes the propaganda, and each time the public ends up angry at the BS they were fed. >

  Have you seen what has been said on Russian tv and by the Russian government themselves or do you think they are all CIA plants including Putin
