More Info
Both Ukraine and Russia are critical players in global wheat and maize markets. Together, the two countries supply 30% of the wheat and 20% of the maize to markets around the world. In addition, Ukraine and Russia are key exporters of sunflower oil and barley, accounting for more than three-fourths of the sunflower oil and one-third of the barley in global markets.
The main effect expected of Russia’s war on Ukraine on global food security is its impact on grain and energy markets, as well as fertilizer supply. International food and fuel prices have increased sharply since the onset of the conflict, ultimately affecting local food prices and access to food. At the same time, grain and oil price hikes have increased the cost of humanitarian operations, reducing aid organizations’ ability to serve those in need when it is most required.
On July 21st, a panel of experts will discuss the implications of these supply shortfalls on food security and resilience globally, and what can be done about it. More information, including speaker bios, coming soon!
This webinar will be recorded, and the recording will be distributed following the event.
