The Ukraine wheat crisis is largely related to the UN’s World Food Program.

If I remember the stats correctly, the program feels 250 million people annually and half of that food stock comes from Ukraine wheat. The consequences of this shortage is that people in need are going to suffer more.
But it’s not like the wheat is gone, either. The Russians have been selling it and shipping it places. The consequences could be that countries that buy this wheat may be buying it at a discount, meaning that those who sell it to these countries legitimately may have a surplus that then gets sold elsewhere.
