Should that supply disappear from the market, the world <em>\u201cwill lose food for almost 750 million people after just a few harvests,\u201d<\/em> he warned.

It is interesting that UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed is basically saying that the world needs to drop sanctions on Russia to at least assist with world fertilizer production. That would tie in with Russia&#8217;s official position related to grain and other food shortages.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, a couple of weeks ago, <em>NewsMax<\/em> reported the following Russia position:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"article\">Russia: West Is Spreading Lies About Causes of World&#8217;s Food Crisis<\/h2>\n<p>June 22, 2022<\/p>\n<p>Russia on Wednesday said the West was spreading lies about the causes of the global food crisis which Moscow said was being stoked by the sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and European Union due to the invasion of Ukraine. &#8230;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters in Moscow she was dismayed by repeated Western statements that Russia was to blame for the global food crisis.&#8221;It is a lie &#8211; such accusations are complete lies,&#8221; Zakharova said. &#8220;So the West can supply all these arms to Ukraine but for some reason nothing can be taken out of Ukraine?&#8221;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>Both play a big role on the barley, maize and rapeseed markets while Russia is one of the world\u2019s top fertilizer exporters.
