  What about food from Russia?
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.
