A new global food crisis is looming, economists warn, exacerbated by Russia’s war in Ukraine. A blockade of maritime commerce through the Black Sea by Russia and Ukraine is severely disrupting grain exports. This disruption, alongside the climate impact of the El Niño phenomenon and issues within the Strait of Hormuz, threatens worldwide food supplies. Farmers are struggling with uncertainty regarding their harvests due to export limitations. Experts fear rising food prices and potential shortages, especially in countries reliant on Ukrainian and Russian grain. The situation demands international attention to mitigate the impending crisis and ensure global food security.
