Wheat Prices On Rise Globally Due To War In Ukraine
On Wednesday, members of the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee met in Washington to discuss the war in Ukraine’s impact on global food security.
Russia’s war with Ukraine has disrupted grain supplies from a region known as “the breadbasket of the world.”
Russia and Ukraine produce nearly a third of the world’s wheat, according to the United Nations.
Senate Agriculture Committee members discussed how food prices and access to food could be affected globally because of the conflict.
U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall, a Kansas Republican, said the U.S. is experiencing one of the worst domestic wheat crops in history.
