and as you said in your introduction, ukraine are russia, contributes to a quarter of the global width production in the world. so obviously, africa depends heavily on a, both ukraine and russia. now of course the impact is going to be that we are going to begin to see things like bread. for example. things like pastor, some of the tie, a local dish here. either things are made from our, from, from width, which are essential step was in african foods. we're going to see them, the prices go up. and of course, this is going to drive profits because people are not going to be able to afford things like bread that they would normally eat for breakfast. so that those are some of the things are going to begin to see and sort of the flow and effect when food security means that much. how could this impact peace and security in the region? well, the sa health region was specifically was already suffering from food. it was already in a food security crisis. and of course this was for airline v. a conflict between heads, man and farmers. and so there was already that struggle for limited resources. now add on top of that, these are on this

the i m f this week said quote, the war in ukraine means hunger in africa. the world food program is also wanting of catastrophe. c, in half of the green it uses to feed the needy, originates in ukraine. one not only that, it has also been forced to slash aid to some african countries because of the crisis. we're show short of funds all ready and now with ukraine. we've got we've got 50 percent ration for people. for example, in yemen, i've just cut 50 percent ration for 8000000 people. these year 50 percent rash shared 50 percent residence in 50 percent. don't have anything those who are in extreme need, so it's already having a global impact. we've already seen countries, right before ukraine crisis begin to destabilize like molly chair, rikita fossil. in my opinion, it's a side of things to come. or discuss this further with a representative of the united nations development program in a moment. but let's 1st go to somalia, where i'm almost forgotten. humanitarian catastrophe is now severely aggravated by food aid being diverted elsewhere. somalia is exper

russia's invasion of ukraine as caused fuel prices to soar across east africa. gion already facing instability, inflation and terrible drought. wheat is widely eaten across the region, at a huge amount of this commodity comes from ukraine and russia. that is not the only thing that has gone up. in kenya, people already faced a tight squeeze because of the pandemic, and a storeowner here tells me the cost of flour has gone up 10%. oil has gone up 10% -- 20% and bread is also due to go up. so, a crisis happening in a completely different continent could have ramifications for this region, and other parts of africa for years to come. nigeria is africa's largest economy in the continent's top oil producer. rising oil prices should be good news, but the country's limited refining capability means it may not -- and it is struggling with power, the fragile grid has collapsed multiple times just this week. those who normally can't afford it would usually turn to dsel fuel generators, but the price of diesel has doubled in recent weeks. businesses here will have to pass o

russia and ukraine produce a lot of wheat. and in africa wheat prices is having a huge impact on livelihoods. we have correspondents in zimbabwe, egypt, kenya and nigeria. the rising global oil and grain prices are beginning to biten in zimbabwe especially at the pump. since february fuel prices have soared as much as 18%. march saw two price increases inside a week. translation: the only way we have managed to keep things going is buying fuel on the black market. that is how we have been able to stabilise the prizes for our passengers. before the russian invasion of ukraine zimbabwe was already battling a double—digit inflation and these price increases are likely to worsen the economic outlook. egypt is the world's largest importer of wheat, nearly 70% of the wheat imports come from russia. bread prices have soared already as a result of the war burdening millions of egyptian families living from hand to mouth. but it's not just about food, tourism in which is a lifeline to the egyptian economy is likely to be hit hard as well. around 40%

the i m f this week said quote, the war in ukraine means hunger in africa. the world food program is also wanting over catastrophe. see, in half of the green it uses to feed the needy originates in ukraine. one, not only that, it has also been forced to slash aid to some african countries because of the crisis. we're show short of funds all ready and now with ukraine. we've got we've got 50 percent ration for people. for example, in yemen, i've just cut 50 percent ration for 8000000 people. these year, 50 percent rash shared 50 percent residence in 50 percent. don't have anything. those who are in extreme need. so it's already having a global impact. we've already seen countries right before ukraine crisis begin to destabilize like molly chair, rikita fossil. in my opinion, it's a side of things to come or discuss this further with a representative of the united nations development program in a moment. but let's 1st go to somalia, where i'm almost forgotten. humanitarian catastrophe is now severely aggravated by food aid being diverted. elsewhere. somalia is

africa will go to marseille. it's not just russia and ukraine well africa for the first time first . d ukraine they will put something in europe, by the way, they won't put it. not because we don't have it, because they cut it off themselves. and one more invoice, but something will happen to the eu agriculture itself without fertilizers. right now there is a crisis in italy, they don't have nitrogen fertilizers. i don’t understand what they will plant now, without this, the lake ’s yield will be incredibly low, such as it has not been for a long time. and it will be in italy yes. well, the reaction of greece is not surprising because it is a close orthodox country and a plus. she lived in 2010 when she was already going through the default stage, when it was refinanced with old german equipment and faced a severe economic crisis. but the reaction in germany , litmus tests will be valid after march 31, when a simple technical solution is to sell euros on the stock exchange. uh, so far it seems very difficult for germany, and if they refuse this, the household will not suffer, but the

russia and ukraine supply more than 1/4 of the world's wheat exports, also 20% of corn exports, and 80% of some -- sunflower oil exports. turkey, egypt, other countes in north africa0% of ukraine's wheat and corn exports went to the middle east and africa. around 70% of russians went to the same areas last year -- of russia's went to the sa areas last year. >> t shipments have already slowed substantially. there's a huge safety element. and these shipments are needed on a daily basis just to feed the population in the middle eastnd north african countries. they can't afford a further spike in inflation at a time when food is huge in price volatility. ros: you may have heard me speaking to my colleague who i spoke to before you. in terms of oil, reserves will get so far before supply becomes an issue. in the case of wheat, presumably, reserves get you far less down the road, because you can only store wheat for so long. >> there's also that you can't get it from -- where do you go? brazil and argentina are subject to long droughts. the u.s. and canadian wheat crops are pretty dry. so, we're getting a situation where it's difficult to replace any exports out of russ

the war between russia and ukraine could have dire consequences on a global scale, threatening food supplies across multiple continents, including europe, asia and africa. together ukraine and russia supply roughly one third of the world's wheat and barley, with ukraine being the fifth largest exporter of wheat in the world. this is not happening in our vacuum, but the ongoing conflict is preventing farmers from tending fields and stopping ports from shipping these vital necessities with additional western sanctions, possibly halting russian grain exports as well about 30. off wheat. 20% of maize, corn and about 80% of sunflower oil. comes from these two countries, even though global wheat supplies have not yet been affected. heads at the international grains council say a lengthy war could result in a weed shortage come july with countries like lebanon, egypt and indonesia. who rely on lower price ukrainian wheat to feed their poor populations especially hurt, and then i'm gonna be dead from the beginning of the war. we talked with the economy minister, the prime minister, the central bank governor to find a new mechanism to expedite the process of fi
