Implications of the grain deal falling apart

The grain deal between Russia and Ukraine, which greatly aided global food security, has fallen apart. This deal was crucial as both countries are major food producers and exporters, accounting for a significant portion of international wheat, maize, and sunflower oil trade. The war between Russia and Ukraine disrupted the exports, leading to skyrocketing prices and shortages in many food-importing countries. The grain deal, established with the support of Turkey and the United Nations, temporarily stabilized the situation, but Russia's recent withdrawal from the deal has caused grain prices to rise again. This has raised concerns about increasing food insecurity, especially in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
