Amid record-high inflation and gas prices, Americans may soon have another economic crisis to worry about at the dinner table: a wheat shortage.
In 2019, Ukraine and Russia combined to supply about 25.4% of the world’s wheat, according to the Observatory of Economic Complexity. Russia is the world’s largest wheat exporter; Ukraine ranks fifth. While that’s a staple crop for both countries, it isn’t the only one of importance — in total, the International Grains Council estimates that the two countries account for about one-quarter of the entire world’s grain trade. https://dailycaller.com/2022/03/11/ukraine-russia-wheat-shortage-inflation-joe-biden-food/
