A recent article outlines the potential impact of Russia's signing of a grain export deal with Ukraine on importing countries, particularly those in Africa.

However, the effectiveness of the deal is uncertain, especially after Russia's missile attack on Odesa, and the risk of grain vessels being targeted remains.
