Ukraine is commonly called the breadbasket of Europe and the invasion of its country by Russia is spelling chaos for the global grains and urea trade.
'Special Report' anchor Bret Baier features a 'Special Report Spotlight' on how Russian's invasion is putting pressure on the global food supply.that nation into turmoil but has had reverberating effects around the world, including other nations dependent on Kyiv's cereal and fertilizer exports.
While Americans have faced some shortages tied to the Ukraine war, on the other side of the world, it is much more grim, Baier said."The war in Ukraine has exacerbated supply chain issues around the world. But as Russian ships continue to block exports and as Ukrainian farmers prepare for the 2022 harvest season, the next phase of the global food crisis could get much worse," he said.
The country accounts for 10% of wheat and 14% of corn exports worldwide, much of that going to the developing world where countries are more devoid of the resources needed for such agriculture.
