“Breadbasket to Bread Lines” – Global Food Insecurity After the Invasion of Ukraine
This CEO policy update by the Conference Board first addressed the broad subject of food security on March 15 with a paper that stated that Russia and Ukraine together “supply 16 percent of global exports of grains” and examined current global “stockpiles that can be tapped for exports, and the capacity of internal infrastructure and labor to facilitate ramped up trade. India, the US, and the EU appear uniquely positioned to step in to feed the world.” However, the paper also noted that “the human suffering of the war in Ukraine could potentially extend out exponentially to the rest of the globe by exacerbating global food insecurity. The armed conflict . . . could seriously disrupt production and exports of grain to very vulnerable countries.” This Policy Brief supplements that paper as the war has continued and also focuses on several specific issues regarding the serious prospect of global food insecurity.
