Russia-Ukraine War Threatens Wheat Supply, Jolts Prices Poor harvests have left global wheat inventories low and fighting has jeopardized Black Sea exports
Egypt, the world’s largest wheat importer, recently canceled a tender after receiving a limited number of pricey offers. Turkey reduced an order size. Tanzania recently said that its wheat import bill jumped 50% for the 12 months through January, before the Russian attack roiled the market.
“The world’s poorest are going to suffer from this war,” said Mr. Gilbertie. “It’s a crime against humanity.”
In Turkey, sunflower oil will be limited to 2 liters per family per month starting next week.
