The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) have reported significant impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the global grain market, as these countries are major exporters of wheat, corn, sunflower oil, and barley. The war has disrupted agricultural production and exports, leading to the loss of farming land and infrastructure in Ukraine, and sanctions against Russia have affected its agricultural production and export of fertilizers.
