Food prices will skyrocket because farmers will have to make profit, so what happens to consumers?'' said Uche Anyanwu, an agricultural expert at the University of Nigeria.
The aid group Action Aid warns that families in the Horn of Africa are already being driven "to the brink of survival.''
The U.N. says Russia is the world's No. 1 exporter of nitrogen fertilizer and No. 2 in phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Its ally Belarus, also contending with Western sanctions, is another major fertilizer producer.
Many developing countries — including Mongolia, Honduras, Cameroon, Ghana, Senegal, Mexico and Guatemala — rely on Russia for at least a fifth of their imports.

The more we look at how the UN, US, and EU leaders, are dealing with the Ukraine war that they're guilty of, and how this lame "green energy" narrative is been used in the context as well, the more we realize the absurdity and lack of care these leaders are manifesting.
So, on one side we have provoked Russia that's bombarding Ukraine, which is indeed a painful conflict, and on the other, we have the ones who have provoked and entertained the war so far with their absurd measures of counterattacking the shit they dragged the whole planet into.
Why do the poor have to always pay the higher price? It's something I've always asked myself. From every angle you look at it, the poor are paying higher prices, starting from taxes, freedom, rights, fair judgment, etc, etc.
Lately, the EU came up with a brilliant plan on sanctioning Russia even more with the strategy of advising/making Africa deny Russian fertilizer, but also not advising them in producing their own... just because it's against their shitty green policies.
It's so obvious and absurd when you look at this Ukraine-Russia war... What the EU nations, led by the American governing powers, have done for the past few months is create a war out of nothing and impose absurd measures that have done nothing but affect the working man's personal finances in a negative manner rather than stop any war.
They recently poured some more "green policy fuel" to the fire and here we are paying way more for gas than we did months ago, the same going for food, and who knows how this crisis will unfold in the months/years ahead. At this point, with the risk of sounding like a criminal, I really wish Russia would once and for all get its territories back so we can call it a deal and move on with our lives.
It's sad what's happening in the world right now and it's even sadder that the individuals(call them the massses) are doing nothing... I see no actual protest in my country against all of this. These bozzos still drive their cars around like there's no tomorrow. They could at least take a break from unnecesary driving, this way protesting against soaring prices based on no fundament at all(gas prices are not correlated with oil prices).
Oh, did you know that German Vice-Chancellor "Drastically Reduced" Time In Shower To Cope With Energy Crisis? How sweet... but absurd at the same time.
What do you think?
Thanks for your attention,
