The wheat crisis in Ukraine has triggered a global chain reaction of food export bans ranging from cooking oil to goat meat (Bol News) 

May 21, 2022


Bol News (Pakistan) published an article that reported as terrified governments block exports due to price spikes, Russia has been accused of weaponizing world food supplies. Fears are increasing that Russia’s war in Ukraine may lead to more nations imposing food export prohibitions; further limiting supply and driving up food prices. According to IFPRI, since the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, more than a dozen countries, including Turkey, Indonesia, Egypt, and India, have restricted shipments of several food essentials since grain prices have risen this year partially owing to the crisis.
