Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the world has faced rising food and energy prices.
An American institute, the Centre for Global Development, has warned that 40 million people can suffer from hunger. The institute highlights how important the former Soviet region is for agricultural trade. Russia and Ukraine make up 29% of the world's wheat. Russia and Belarus make up one sixth of the world's garbage, the BBC writes.
The impact will be widely felt, according to experts, but will hit poorer countries.
CGD experts recommend that wheat producers including G20 should keep their markets open, while international governments and agencies must act quickly and generously to support humanitarian needs. /Abbot. al
