WSJ: Countries scramble to fill Black Sea grain void (Farm Policy News) 

May 02, 2022


Farm Policy News published an article on a recent Wall Street Journal article. The Wall Street Journal writers Jesse Newman and Patrick Thomas reported on the front page of the paper, a story, “From India to Ireland,” governments are moving to fill a void from the Black Sea region that could total tens of millions of tons of grain. They are paying farmers to sow more crops and are enlisting railcars and additional containers to move wheat. Senior research fellow Joseph Glauber said, “‘It’s not a question of the world running out of grain, it’s a question of how high the price will be that people have to pay for it.”
