June 24, 2022


Tempo.co published an article on the latest UN report entitled Hunger Hotspot stating that the Russia-Ukraine war could push the number of people who are acutely food insecure from food crises to as many as 47 million in various countries. Ukraine and Russia are known as the main producers of wheat. According to (IFPRI, as much as a third of wheat is traded on global markets and about a quarter of the world’s wheat. In addition, the war in Ukraine has the potential to jeopardize the supply of grain and vegetable oil. For example, sunflower and corn oil for animal feed in various countries in the world.
