Ukraine’s vast agriculture industry has been disrupted by the war, triggering shortages in countries which rely on buying what its farms produce. The cost of wheat has soured in recent months, fuelling the inflation in food prices that was already rising because of post-Covid supply chain problems. US secretary of state Anthony Blinken has described shortages and price pressure as ‘the greatest global food security crisis of our time’. Ukraine and Russia together produce almost a third of the world’s wheat and barl
