Yet the world is still in the grips of the worst food crisis in modern history, as Russia’s war in Ukraine shakes global agricultural systems already grappling with the effects of extreme weather and the pandemic. Market conditions may have improved in recent months, but experts do not expect imminent relief. That means more pain for vulnerable communities already struggling with hunger.
There have been some signs of improvement. The index has dropped for nine consecutive months, and its December value was below that of one year ago. A big factor is the sharp decline in the price of vegetable oils. Supplies are high and demand is down as the economy slows and recession fears take hold. The deal to restart Ukraine’s food exports via the Black Sea allowed it to ship more than 12 million metric tons of grain and other foodstuffs through the beginning of December.
So anxious to see this war end. As, just here in Canada,….millions of dollars spent …already. And it is not finished…Money that could be used at some other needs here, too… I wish them good luck, thought , as it is so sad to watch, day after day….
It is NATO and US's war against Russia using Ukraine as a bait.
You solve this by being energy and food independent.
I wonder what percent of Americans realize the number of American companies that are still doing business with Russia and still funneling money to power the Russian war machine. The US wants this war to continue for years. CNN will not tell you that!
Lest we forget the words of the ex-defeated President.
World will soon realize how brutal and savage is IRGC in Iran. The biggest, non-declared-yet, terroristic militia not only in Iran, not only in middle-east, but in the whole world. They get bravery medallion for killing protesting youths on street. IRGCterrorists مهسا_امینی
Why is the West not speaking on this crisis. Will RU decide the fate of energy and food for the world. Inflation has already started hitting badly, what's next.
LOL trying to blame Russia ... for everything ... look again dudes.
This isn’t nice idea
ThanksJoe!
Love the way you say 'Russian war in Ukraine' It's Russia fighting against itself in Ukraine. Western media doing a western media thing 😂😂😂😂😂
