French President Emmanuel Macron says he expects there will be famine in Africa because of the war in Ukraine.
Middle Eastern and North African countries rely heavily on wheat from Russia and Ukraine, which account for 30 percent of global wheat exports.
The region was already struggling with economic crises and rising import costs.

Inflation is coming watch out
They had better not depend on us , USA.. our own supply chain is in total disarray and almost broken… plus I’m sure they’ll gouge them to death on the price .. just like they’re doing to us
Not war! This is exactly what the Luciferian satanic NWO cabal have been planning for all of us “useless eaters” on earth! It’s called EUGENICS!
Z
Lebanon, ruined by Hezbollah.
Maybe hezbollah could ask the Ayatollah to step in,
considering Iran has destroyed Lebanon.
Asian have rice …
Putin isn’t the bad guy ! This is American Hollywood big show! Literally with director and make up, fake blood and actor’s! The YouTube channel AMPLEX caught them red handed in Ukraine doing this and made a video! Same crisis actors all over country, exact same faces , some actors since 2018 ! Not hard to believe since Ukraine president is actor! I’m American and sadly to say this is AMERICAN doing the UNTHINKABLE again! Please see for your own eyes! Watch YouTube video, then decide!
You think I could get on talk radio about this when they were talking about the Ukraine war? Media looks at little boxes and never the whole picture. This is why we haven’t got 100% clean energy by now and not have these problems!
That’s what u get when u sanction someone with an uno reverse card. 😂🤣🤫
Yeah? Africa and the Middle East sanctioned Russia? Because Europe and USA are not hit that bad. They might have to pay more but at least they grow their own.
@mudshovel289 Yes, you can thank the West for causing famine.
What kind of idiot destroys one third of world wheat prediction.
Arab populations keep growing and none of them is sufficient in food
Do they have any brains?
Oh US, India and Canada eh. What happened to the Great Satan or hindu idoltry?
Yemenis support Russia. Cry to Putin.
my arab brothers and sisters..u guys need to go back to farming…not a good idea if u cant feed urselves
it’s dessert
The Sahara, Sinai desert and The Empty Quarter are prime agricultural real estate 😂
@E Cognitio What about like the area by the Nile river and Mesopotamia? Those places used to be super fertile and the reason why the earliest civilizations were there.
Despite the economic downturn, I’m so happy☺️. I have earned $60,000 returns from my $7,000 investments with Mrs Christine
As a first time investor, I started trading with Mrs Christine with just a $8,000 now my portfolio is worth $21,400 within the space 2weeks of trading with her.
I just looked her up on google and she’s a licensed broker, can I get her contact?
@Douglas Klein
Yeah sure

Whasapp her 👆 👆
As there will be crisis of staple food that led to soaring of prices, then there is no other way for the world to depend only on secondary food product of wheat.
So… suddenly… ukraine is important…
lols at the guy switching out the money from the bag back to his pocket to grab a different pile of cash out…
Good time to start my diet.
SERIOUSLY
Go to the periods from 1922 to 1945 look what happens there We repeating it !
And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius (a day’s wages), and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.”
“and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague”
Egypt used to produce more wheat to feed its population and export to the neighbouring countries. It was once the bread basket of the Roman Empire. Now look at Egypt. What a sad state of affairs.
Corruption: allow me to Introduce myself,
Climate has changed considerably since then and Egypt on its today has a population of 81 million.
@E Cognitio I agree with both points you’ve made. However, there are studies out there that show that Egypt can become self sufficient in growing wheat and that this is possible with population growth until 2040s.
You will not get cheap grain from Ukraine any longer… that’s it
That’s the end of capitalism…. Lebanon take arms in hands to overthrow your government
Revolution is coming…
after whe have corona whe have food shortages it seems to me accedentely isn’it
People being harsh on Egypt. The governments of the middle east are fairly incompetent but their geography makes it hard to grow anything. We may see some revolutions like happened with Arab Spring also triggered by wheat prices but theres no real solution for food inflation unless people switch to goods they can grow domestically.
people are not harsh on egypt. they overpopulated the country and build houses on all fertile land.
@Jebi Se thats actually what happens at fertile places generally. As humans we started off doing agriculture so we all settled near rivers which is why Indians initially settled around the Ganges and Indus, Chinese along the yellow river, Americans on the mississippi etc. and theres always high populations along rivers as it provides a source of water and supports agriculture jobs. Egyptians couldn’t have settled on infertile land cause theres no good water source, good mode of transportation
The US sanctions have created another catastrophe to global food security. Russia did not suffer but middle east suffer.
USA did not attack Ukraine.
@Chad Gaston USA provoked this war.
oh dear.the cost of what the west has done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
I heard that his strategies are really good
@Judy Yeah, My first investment with Mr Timothy Gregg earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars, and ever since then he has been delivering
He has really made a good name for himself
Scam alert
Why can you eat it?
Inflation heading to hyperinflation.
Is no one paying attention to the fact that this will cause another migration crisis soon? When people can’t eat, they become desperate.
@Arya Aswale No, they’ll just make crude rafts to try to get to Europe or just try to enter via the Balkans.
yes. another migrant crisis and europe will probably have to lift sanction to russia so russia will start exporting food again and keep starving people where they are. or those countries will ally them self with russia in order to get food.
They should build their ow countries instead pf running.
Europe wont be able to take any more refugees after Ukraine.
Can’t they can import the grain directly from Russia? Europe will experience less food because we cut eco lines to Russia or are about to. So, going to Euro, will not solve their problem.
Go n produce ur own food…lazy lebos…
The entire human species is suffering and dying because of one man.
Not really, afghan iraq libye vietnam suffer because of a group of peace loving democratic people shooting thier kids
@Kay Jr touché
Shoygu didn’t tell that to the Tsar. Lebanon and Syria will now starve to death.
This whole mess in Ukraine started because of the West meddling in Ukraine. American bio labs in Ukraine, Western countries sending weapons to Ukraine, CIA training Ukrainian nationalists, the West funding a coup in Ukraine in 2014. And the world hunger is caused by Western sanctions. You can thank them
Starve the third world. Great reset as well as the World economic forum.
orthodoxy but children die of hunger , cause countrys don´t wanna sell cheaper wheat , just like egypt buys from romania 200 million $ wheat 400 million $ total imports , and romania 100 million $ all imports from egypt , everyone a little usa around here , thats why orthodoxy looks bad in front of usa.
South Africa has huge wheat supply
but most of it is for selfconsume, and even they have a little bit to sold, they don’t have the infrestacture to sell it outside their region neightborns. That’s the reason why most of middelast east consume ukraine and russia wheat, they are closed and easy to transport.
Not for exports.
egypt imports carbid from romania , that one that explodes when weath , suspicious , pyrimades are like made of that.
Canada is the second-largest wheat producer if aligned. Blame it on Putin and CCP Xitler
Nobody thinking about Afghanistan.
They have received aid in the form of food supplies. The winter is going to end soon. Hopefully they put a hold on having any more children until after they are self sufficient again.
For the first time in my life , I’m seeing one man is destroying the whole world all together . Putin the one and only.
Then for the past 20 years you must have been blind, all the evil Western g….have committed.
Egypt will find Rubles or Renminbi to buy their flour.
Too much land wasted on raising cattle and chickens.
Or simply just too dry? I mean even Israel imports food. Water miracle Israel brags about only made it possible to grow few fruits.
What arable land?
I’m talking about the west, NA, and SA. And australia.
Staples like wheat 🌾 should stay cheap or subsidised for the extreme poor to survive.
Middle Eastern and African countries are facing a Putin made famine in 6 months and most are not doing much to prevent it. How many have sent troops or weapons to defend the food they depend on?
It’s American propaganda and American sanctions you liars!
Nobody eats wheat here anymore
Nobody here eats wheat anymore
It’s because of the all the round up causing “gluten “ issues
Middle east countries should buy more lands outside their home for growing wheat. In other terms: agricultural investment. Zimbabwe and Zambia are good places for wheat investment.
Sorry USA got full sanctions on Zimbabwe, they don’t like there foreign policy,
Those countries don’t have the right climate for mass Wheat production. They produce maize, yams etc…….
not every middle east country can afford something like that
Leave Africa alone!!!
NATO started this conflict and must start sending wheat lower price to these importing countries to offset their trouble.
Nonsense.
Don’t think Russia is a part of NATO.
politicians never go hungry! it’s the ordinary citizens that suffers… in these circumstances many will go to sleep hungry!!!
The United States can take a 30% decline in food availability. Instead of being called the Maduro Diet, it will be called the Biden Diet.
Russia can send wheat , USA won’t help you know that .
Zimbabwe can’t help they got USA sanctions like Cuba
Is this not a time to question USA crimes against humanity through starvation?
Both those who justify the wicked
and those who blame the righteous
are repugnant to Yahweh.
Prices will soon come down the winter harvest is yet to start and many countries are releasing stockpiles and the weather all over the world has been good so it will be a bumper crop
Egypt used to provide wheat for the Roman Empire. This is a good lesson on the importance of smart long-term land use policies.
egypt has and has had since those times only a very small area of arable land along the nile and in the nile delta. egypt’s population has probably just grown way past the possibility of feeding it from that little bit of land.
People always make this stupid comments. The arab countries can not make own wheat because of geology and economics. It is cheaper to import from ukraine because ukraine has better soil (rich black soil and water). So this makes it cheaper for the arab countries. Producing own wheat is not smart. Does not mean they dont have wheat production for example morocco has own production but still needs to import.
Exactly what I was thinking!
@massin akmin But Egypt was the major exporter of wheat during the Roman Empire.
‘When the elephants fight, the grass gets trampled
And all this just because Putin lost his mind.
AJ: War drives up cost of wheat globally
me: wow imagine what is happening in russian stores
Russia is the worlds largest wheat producer. They can’t export thru the Black Sea because it’s a war zone and commercial ships won’t go there. Their insurance won’t cover them.
They will not lack wheat, just all western goods.
Don’t worry, we have plenty of wheat and bread here. Keep sanctioning us.
@King Long oh we will. Meanwhile your army bleeds out in Ukraine. Oryx blog reports confirmed losses for both sides. Go look.
In a year Russia will be as powerful as Italy. The world is laughing at you.
Population control is needed in the Middle East and Africa.
You could have been averted!
Hey Canada sells wheat 🌾 give them a call 📞
I’m allergic to wheat
no doubt russia will buy allies with food… what a concept in 21st century
Boycott Zionists products
There’s enough land for farming but many are lazy
Eat less.. this is what you get with high breeding it nature… it effect the animal kingdom.. just be humble in life.. not to offend
Looks like the planets about to go gluten free!
Maybe there’s just too many people in the Middle East and North Africa if they’re counting on others for food?
I wonder how many times the government changes in Egypt over the price of bread. Bread is a very serious issue
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY BESIDES MURDERING PALESTINIAN CHILDREN AND ROBBING THEIR HOUSES YOU ZIONAZI
why not use rice instead ik it will not taste good like wheat but it will do during times like these
Maybe al Jazeera should stop cheerleading the war then.
Topple the dictators only then bead will affordable
They can’t even produce their own wheat. They how backward Arab countries are. I pretty sure, rich gulf countries also face the same problem, rich but can’t produce nothing.
when the planet RED KACHINA leaves earth this time Russia will be the new NORTH POLE PUTIN knows this Russia needs Ukraine and the other countries to be its garden or Russia will starve and freeze….
All these are failed States.
China bought 1 year supplies of wheat in advance
correction, there will famine in Africa thanks to the sanctions imposed by C@%ts like Macron and other western leaders
Now they want to out price the most stable food world wide. Come on man.
potato bread oh ya
What is stopping them from growing their own wheat?
Climate and water shortage
Why are people homeless ?why don’t they just buy a house! That’s the equivalent
@S N Russia will have a very good harvest in 2022. It’s production is vast and can easily meet the needs of Middle East.
Supply from North America is not feasible because of the large frieght cost.
Russia is indispensable to the world market.
It has natural resources the world desperately needs.
Whats the problem, let them have cake?
I just realize that joke doesnt work well due to the ingredients in cake…
its funny how stubborn govt can be .. they know price will go up if they stop imports from a certain country, but they will rather Pay more willingly and not buy from Russia..
personally i disagree with Russia starting a war, but i think i am against sanactions and would willingly do business with Russia still, the war isnt the fault of the common ppl in Russia, its their govt, why make your own life worse and the life of the common Russian farmer or businessman worse, when the war is started by Putin.
ALL BECAUSE AMERICA WANTS TO COLONISE RUSSIA
Recycled footage.
Why not have a population that is sustainable? (less people)
May Muhammad and his six year old wife Aisha from janah bless us with more wheat 🌾, inshamuhammad
So war in Ukraine and sanctions on Russia are predicted to cause the curse of famine on Africans who had nothing to do with neither.
We are too globally interconnected for war and sanctions; the suffering each country tries to inflict on another becomes a boomerang.
The main point of globalization is to avoid war.
Yeah true. And they knew this, still they go ahead with sanctions.
The sooner Putin is defeated the less suffering the worlds people especially the poor experience!
Send Ukraine offensive weapons so they can rise up to destroy this tyrant so armies!
Or better tell the West to get the f off from Ukraine.
Blame the American Government and Europe for the sanctions they created on Russia it tells ordinary people that their Government don’t worry about their suffering because they always have food on their table
Russian should allow to ship food and energy without any interfering. World leaders should allow food shipments to move freely every location in the world and keep outside of the sanctions. The company who refused to ship food items from Ukraine or from Russian should be punished by the authorities.
Who is the one putting sanctions?
You should thank the West for causing this crisis. They have been meddling in Ukraine for decades and provoked Russia. Then put sanctions on Russia that affected the whole world. No one ever sanctioned America for the wars they started.
In order to make Asians understand what this mean,bread is equivalent to rice at that part of the world.
its not the war in the 1st place that cause the price rise. but the western sanctions is the main cause. russia is one of the top wheat producer
in facts, the wheat price in china remain stable…..china even lift wheat import limit from russia
Famine is coming in the whole world because of this Ukraine crisis, not only due to declining wheat exports but also because of the high energy price which drives up all other prices and magnify the problem in the global supply chain. The usa and the EU are both guilty of provoking Russia in crossing her redline and magnifying the tension with sanctions.
First it was ridiculous house prices, now the world has to deal with ridiculous food prices
Sadly this economic crisis means more inflation first its gas and next up is food. My condolences to anyone like myself retiring this year. I need help in growing my 50k on something that’ll make good return. I hope to get best replies out here. God bless!
A financial advisor is not just someone who helps with investments. Their job is to help you with every aspect of your financial life. You could work with a financial advisor without having them manage your portfolio if you have little experience on how to navigate the pitfalls of that particular lnvestment
lnvestment advisor based on fee-compensation and commission compensation; which is the best?
@Carl🇱🇷 There’s no one simple answer to which is better. It depends on the agreement between you and your advisor. Commissioned services might be suitable for investors with a smaller portfolio where less active management is required. Paying the occasional commission is not likely to erode all of the portfolio’s returns over the long-term. However, investors with large portfolios who need active asset allocation, a fee-only financial advisor might be the better option.

And yet we cast you out regardless, your inhumanity upsets our stomach more than our hunger
@SorryIJustAteYourDog Oh you mean the US humanity in iraq, libya, syria or vietnam?
@Abraham Tsfaye Westerners always feel like they are the moral police of the world.
What about Afghanistan?
You show India as a poor nation but never show how it is able to feed 1.3 billion people with surplus wheat and rice we never face food shortage our PDS system is some of the largest in the world.
